Authority Lyrics by Dead Lord

Surrender

0

[Verse 1]
Now you listen and make sure it's understood
With your obnoxious ways, you're no good
This must end when I say it
I'll hunt you down with bureaucracy
You'll see that it's me that you'll listen to ultimately
This is my word, obey it
I will punish and I will kill
I will choke those who provoke
The fear I instilled
You must remain tethered
So whatever you have up your sleeves
Whatever naive belief you're trying to achieve
Your free will must be severed
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll make the rules, you follow
Don't you evеr forget
Your freedom is borrowed
So watch it
Watch it
[Chorus]
Doesn't mattеr who you wanna be
Respect authority
Don't say that thing and don't you play no games with me
Respect authority
There's no battle to be won
My way is how it's done
This is the way that it was meant to be
Respect it
Authority
[Verse 2]
I'll wipe that grin from off your face
No disgrace will ever take my place
You will meet my violence
Quiet you shall remain
And refrain from ever trying to complain
Locked away in silence
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll make the rules, you follow
Don't you ever forget
That your freedom is borrowed
So watch it
Watch it
[Chorus]
Doesn't matter who you wanna be
Respect authority
Don't say that thing and don't you play no games with me
Respect authority
There's no battle to be won
My way is how it's done
This is the way that it was meant to be
Respect it
Authority
[Bridge]
Soon you will see
I'll beat you down if you try to be free
On your knees
Bow down, sit tight
Surrender yourself to me
[Chorus]
Doesn't matter who you wanna be
Respect authority
Don't say that thing and don't you play no games with me
Respect authority
It's easy enough, It's plain to see
Respect authority
The only one you should listen to is me
Respect it
Authority
