Rise or Fall Lyrics
Please don't suffer god just make it quick
With all you've had you don't know what it takes to beg
You've lost your cause lost your time to kill
You won't matter much when they've all got their fill
Mothers teach you to crawl, fathers teach you to rise or fall
Mothers grieve for us all, fathers teach you you're on your own
I won't quiver I won't squirm or sweat
Your heart's not gone but you've got nothin' to make a fist
Sooner or later I'll just flip the switch
Forget what you did or you won't know how to face this hell
Mothers teach you to crawl, fathers teach you to rise or fall
Mothers grieve for us all, fathers teach you to take it on
All my fears awakening I've let me back
All this flashed before my eyes I'd never had
Words no consolation, none will suffice
Walk my son I've taught you well you're on your way down
Fuck the past I hope it goes well
(You're gonna lie with your curse as you made it)
They're coming fast and got nothing left to sell
(You never saw with your cause there's a conscience)
In the end you've got no answers
You're gonna lie with your curse as you made it
So much pain here you don't know how to take my hand
You never saw with your cause there's a conscience
Mothers teach you to crawl, fathers teach you to rise or fall
There's no dream for us all, never see what you're reaching for
Mothers teach you to crawl, fathers teach you you're on your own
Mothers teach you, take what you will
Bang you're alive
Bang you're alive
Bang you're alive
Bang you're alive
With all you've had you don't know what it takes to beg
You've lost your cause lost your time to kill
You won't matter much when they've all got their fill
Mothers grieve for us all, fathers teach you you're on your own
Your heart's not gone but you've got nothin' to make a fist
Sooner or later I'll just flip the switch
Forget what you did or you won't know how to face this hell
Mothers grieve for us all, fathers teach you to take it on
All my fears awakening I've let me back
All this flashed before my eyes I'd never had
Words no consolation, none will suffice
Walk my son I've taught you well you're on your way down
(You're gonna lie with your curse as you made it)
They're coming fast and got nothing left to sell
(You never saw with your cause there's a conscience)
In the end you've got no answers
You're gonna lie with your curse as you made it
So much pain here you don't know how to take my hand
You never saw with your cause there's a conscience
There's no dream for us all, never see what you're reaching for
Mothers teach you to crawl, fathers teach you you're on your own
Mothers teach you, take what you will
Bang you're alive
Bang you're alive
Bang you're alive

this song....wow. the gasp at the beginning, the way he shrieks BANG! You're Alive! at the end. its an attack on the typical american family unit, BRMC's saying that it doesn't exist as such. or something. its like a big fuck you to family. although sometimes i get this feeling its about sex _-> "i wont quiver, i dont squirm or sweat" and "god just make it quick" or it could just be one of those songs that are throwing ervything around the room in anger. whatever it is, i love it and it couldn't be better.
