I've been away from home Was outta sight No other change has come Who let the boredom in We got our rockin' rights We'll overcome The mirror never lies We'll show 'em how it's done We always dress in black To be unkind We always dress in black With you in mind It's the way of life we live - you know where we are coming from It's the way of life we live in - and we're not wrong 'cause it's the way of life we live - you know where we are coming from It's the way of life we live in - we are the strong We never will deceive Take no double-talk And all the fat cats bull Don't like the way we walk They spit behind our backs Unwelcomed cla** But it's way down deep They wanna be like us We always dress in black, ... It's the way of life we live, ... Time is ticking by For you life is such a lie You clipped your wings to fly You could have had it all - but! Work nine to five Finish fifty-five Only born to die You ever been alive? We always dress in black, ... It's the way of life we live, ...
