Lived a life of grief and sorrow Striving for the best The only 'cause they criticized Supporting all the rest Pounding pavement, pounding steel Shredding all to break The grindstone shatters all beliefs Our lives and pride at stake There's got to be some give and take We'll take from you until We carve our way through better times The grindstone, out to kill Acceptance from the underground Enough to get us by Metal minds will stand and count They're never satisfied Thrashing through their ignorance Thrashing all in fun The plans are never altered Our job is never done
