Scarecrow - The Scum Also Rises lyrics

By tooth and claw, by hook or crook Pretty covers on dirty books Through hazy nights and wasted days No sleep in the gutter, sleep in your grave The scum also rises The scum also rises Heart pounding, short of breath Bitter taste of dust and d**h Don't wanna know, ain't gonna care Another dream been worn threadbare The scum also rises The scum also rises The scum also rises The scum also rises Hated and despised There's fear in your eyes When we start to rise No escape tonight There's no wrong or right Set this town alight This our revenge Watch you break and bend This will be your end Trodden under heel Caught up in the k** Now your fate is sealed Lift up your head, don't turn away Cause every dog gets just one day Grasp at straws, shoot out the lights Day won't come, so burn though the night The scum also rises The scum also rises The scum also rises The scum also rises
