Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world
Ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl
Love n hate tattooed across the knuckles of his hands
Hands that slap his kids around cause they dont understand how
Death or glory become just another story
Death or glory become just another story
And every gimmick hungry yob digging gold from rock n roll
Grabs the mike to tell us he ll die before hes old
But I believe in this and its been tested by research
That he who fucks nuns will later join the church
Death or glory become just another story
Death or glory become just another story
Fear in the gun-sights they say lie low
And you say ok don't wanna play the show
And all the while you're thinking was it death or glory now?
Playing the blues for pennies sure looks better now
Death or glory become just another story
Death or glory become just another story
In every dingy basement on every dingy street
Every dragging handclap over every dragging beat
Thats just the beat of time the beat that must go on
If youve been trying for years we already heard your song
Death or glory become just another story
Death or glory become just another story
We gotta march a long way fight a long time
We gotta travel over mountains gotta travel over seas
We gonna fight your brother we're gonna fight til you loose
We gonna raise trouble we gonna raise hell
We gonna fight your brother raise hell
Death or glory become just another story
Death or glory become just another story
Death or glory become just another story
Death or glory become just another story
