Rancid - Hyena lyrics

Yeah pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Here we go

I'm money broke and it's no joke
Can't cope, use the rope this time
Knuckle up, buckle up
The ride's getting rough
And I will not lose my mind
I asked her if I could come in
And the first thing she said was no
If I can't come in
That means I can't come back
I got nowhere to go

I'm a hyena, fighting for the lion's share
(right)
Sometimes the lion's share ain't there
I'm a hyena, fighting for the lion's share
(hear me out)
Sometimes the lion's share ain't there

Absent from political authority
An animal I've become
Total disorder and confusion is the
Lifestyle that I run
Permit me to do what I want and I will
I'm a nomad to travel
Concrete, glass, stone and gravel

I'm a hyena, fighting for the lion's share
(right)
Sometimes the lion's share ain't there
A hyena, fighting for the lion's share
(hear me out)
Sometimes the lion's share ain't there
It ain't there

Every time I turn around it's
The same sad story
Getting ganked, I wish it would end
In life's commissary, I'm a bad missionary
With a wicked message I send
Fighting to kill before I lose that shit
And that's just the way I wanna live
Who can I trust in a world of greed
When I'm taught to take and not give?
Who can I trust when I'm taught
To take and not give?

I'm money broke and it's no joke
Can't cope, use the rope this time
Knuckle up, buckle up
The ride's getting rough
And I will not lose my mind
Permit me to do what I want and I will
'Cause, I'm a nomad to travel
Concrete, glass, stone and gravel

See, there's nothing you can say
That's gonna change my mind fuck you

I'm a hyena, fighting for the lion's share
(right)
Sometimes the lion's share ain't there
Sometimes the lion's share ain't there shit
