Strapping Young Lad - S.Y.L. lyrics

"This is a play Devy - spelled Devy
I like me who wants to play
Play to Devy? And then once
There was a bear out
There a real live bear and he ate the kids"

I am the coming of a new age
Past your shit by far
I was a puzzle in your sick life
But will never be a piece anymore
Because I worked through
Your fucking bullshit
And I worked through your fucking lies
Now I'm working on the edge
With a thousand times the stress
So I can damn you down to size i

Worked in your fucking warehouse
I worked in your fucking dream
I worked on the edge of the product community
And found that nothing's what it seemed

I fucking hate

Devy worked in the corner of the piss yard
Bored and plagued by pain
Devy got a taste of the corporate community
And never went back again

I

Worked for you fucking bastards
I worked for your fucking lies
I went and pissed away
Too many fucking opportunities
To try and make you fuckers feel right

I fucking hate

I am the coming of a new age
Stained, we still stand tall
I am the coming of a new age
And I will never fall
I bear the questions of a new time
Seen but never heard
I've seen the coming of a new time, get ready
Cause here it comes

Pushing your incompetence
And racial views aside and never now
Until death again is there anywhere to hide

It starts here my friends
My brothers and sisters
The courage to show what is brave
And not to be weakened
To stand it through, by any length
To look into the eyes
And have the strength of men
Who say "fuck you"
I won't do what you tell me "fuck you"
I don't care who you are "fuck you"
I'll never stop believing "fuck you"
And I'll never be the one who
Takes the heat in the name
Of the remorse that isn't pushed into a hole
Waiting now, and packing down
Into the open spaces we must
Go and not be frightened
As children we came, as children we go
So never look behind you
Never look behind "fuck you"
It isn't a decision "fuck you"
It's a sign of greater things "fuck you"
And a loss will never matter "fuck you"

I am the coming of a new age
Stained we still stand tall
I am the coming of a new age
And I will never fall
I bear the questions of a new time
Seen but never heard
I've seen the comings of a new time
Get ready ‘Cause here it fucking comes
Strap-ping! Young! Lad! Cheesy! Metalhead!
Go

"Howdy, welcome to A&W my name's Devin
Can I take your stinkin' order?"
