Reanimator - Blue lyrics

[Verse 1] He was a southpaw but had a k**er right swing An outlaw inside of the ring Every now and then he'd be put against the ropes but then he'd bounce back Catch a second wind and throw blows 'til noses crack He smashed mouths, he saw red and blacked out Received a couple pats on the back for the smack downs Negative reinforcement, never did he endorse it Had the business sense to wait for press conferences to talk sh** He wasn't a dullard, though he'd never say much Properly mothered but his father taught him how to take a punch It was bare knuckle touch of tough love When he got drunk enough he took his kid down to the gym and fit him up with gloves Tied together with a shoelace, took em apart put em on Looked in the mirror, practiced his screw face Said, "This is for you, Pops, for all the things we never got to do" The hottest part of a flame is blue [Hook] The hottest part of a flame is blue [3x] [Verse 2] Now we got children thinking that they're born to fistfight Cause they've been promised an apocalypse, by prophets without insight He coulda fooled us, in fact we're dumbstruck The school bus is looking like a dump truck Stuffed in cla** like a landfill until it overflows Babysitters can't get the students off their mobile phones A junkyard dog is eating trash in the cafeteria Feeling mad at America The school counselor likes to recycle psychobabble The a**istant to the teacher is just an old TV Now they've all got the urge to battle Cause they see a sign that says, "Like to travel? R.O.T.C." I don't think he can handle, he goes from flannel to camo Cold putting all the ammo in his gun He watched channel one, switched to channel two Unplug completely, the hottest part of a flame is blue [Hook] [Verse 3] We're acting like an enemy is the sea, sky, and land now Came across soldiers who did nothing but yell, "stand down" In their spare time inside a shower stall If not that, they're at the corner store playing PowerBall And when the towers fall, they get protective of this land And won't stand for anything to get resurrected They're waiting for the second coming, the Great Pumpkin Deep down, they know they really wanna do is break something That's what they're trained to do And then they say to you "Just cause you see the devil in my eyes don't make it true" And I say, "true enough" All that fire in your eyes shows pain But the flame ain't blue enough [Hook]
