Bastard Nation Lyrics by Overkill

W.F.O.

1994

[Verse 1]
Twisted, torn, and ripped
The balance goes away
Mine is but an active imagination
Tear the boundary down
Know no line
Take a look inside
The bastard that you find

[Verse 2]
Yelling, screamed, and lipped
Just to have a say
Yours is but an overexaggeration
Throw the civil down
Kill your fear
Feel the need
To act on what you hear

[Chorus]
Did they say we were hard?
Did they say we were separation?
Citizens of a bastard nation

[Verse 3]
Waste for what I do (Greed)
Not for what you hate
Guilt became the prime motivation
Throw the civil down
Kill his seed
Let's cut out the heart
To see if it bleeds

[Verse 4]
Crippled, lame, and tripped
The balance falls away
Move to total separation
Dissolve the boundary now
Kill the line
You become the new
Bastard that you find

[Chorus]
Did they say we were hard?
Did they?
Did they say we were separation?
Citizens of a bastard nation

[Bridge]
I'll walk away if you do
And I'll stay if you do
It's a fear
Fearing to be alone

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
Did they say we were hard?
Did they say we were separation?
Citizen of a bastard nation

[Chorus]
Did they say we were hard?
Did they?
Did they say we were separation?
Citizens of a bastard nation

Did they say we were hard?
Did they say we were separation?
Citizens of a bastard nation
Bastard nation
