Ten Yard Fight : Hardcore Pride

Lyrics

1. HARDCORE PRIDE

You never gave a shit about the kids You sold us out for a higher bid I guess it was time for you to grow up Now you can't play for us Because we won't show up So much for the pounding in your heart.

Your actions no longer fit the part You sold us out, and now you want more Come to your show? What the fuck for? Now it's you that stands to the side We've had enough of your so called hardcore pride Our faith in you has long since died.

You had us fooled but now we see it was a lie You never were one of us No longer do you have our trust How soon you forget the words you once spoke.

Was it all a big fucking joke?


2. FOREVER

Honor and friendship, the things that you lack You used us all, then turned your back Now we can see the real you You talked a big game but never followed through You made your choice!!!

You made your choice!!!

I hope you achieve the goals you have set But goals mean nothing when you forget Your dreams, our spirit, what we're about You had it all man, but chose to sell out.

When I look into your eyes, I want to be sick The person I once trusted is now a hypocrite Face up, you lost what we made together You think you're winning now, but pride is forever.

Pride is forever !


3. WHERE I STAND

You want to force me out of what I've earned But I'm not running, not too concerned Because in my heart I know who I am I know where I've been and where I stand!!!

When the dust settles...You'll be gone And we'll still... Be standing strong!

You think you know what I'm about You haven't got a clue Not the slightest idea What I've been through I'm not going anywhere.

I watched you come And I'll watch you go!!!


4. BELIEVE

So many times, I've been asked why Why do you bother, why even try But I have to believe, we have to believe It can be better than all we see For you... and me!

We have to believe.
We have to believe !

Nothing compares with the strength we share Unity, because we care I won't forget what we've been through You believe in me and I'll believe in you.


5. PROUD TO BE STRAIGHT

I know I won't be alone in the end But there won't be as many As I once thought there would And it's so fucking sad man.

Because I know we all should And you know it too man.

Because we've been through this shit before But we're still together And we're both proud to be straight So many of my friends have fallen

But I know that is not my fate I'm still standing in the same place now And I'm still... proud to be straight!!!

You said you'd be here until the end Now you're gone I guess that's the way it goes No matter how hard I try I can't make you see I thought we had the same goals Now here I stand alone and I'm still so fucking proud.

They said that I'd grow out of it, They said I'd never last But I'm still standing so fucking proud Now we'll see who laughs last!!! I'm still proud to be straight We're still proud to be straight And we always will be!!!


6. HOLDING OUT

There was a time when we stood side by side Our view was the same Why would that change? All the laughs we shared I remember so well.

Nothing could touch us Our bond was true I saw you on the street You looked to the side Your new friends.

Look just like you So go ahead, take your best shot I've seen it all before, I remained true While others dropped I've got a tight grip, I'll stay on top I'll hold on... until my last fucking breath!


7. FIRST AND TEN

Back in ‘82 when the Cowboys were strong I'd play flag football all day long until ‘83 when dad said it was time, we played tackle together and crossed the goal line!

Those days are gone, I can't get them back, when we'd rush the QB and go for the sack. You lost your mind, it's gone forever, I feel bad we started the season together.

You... Broke the edge! You... Lost my trust! You turned in your helmet you fumbled the ball, you lost the edge man, you're gonna fall.


8. LINE OF SCRIMMAGE

It started off so long ago in a place so familiar, a place we all know. We suited up side by side, expressing our feelings of drug free pride.

In you I put all my trust, passed you the ball through clouds of dust! I guess for you it was just an image, you'll never see the true line of scrimmage!

These days you'd rather smoke a joint, forgotten the feeling of the extra point. Your inner weakness has taken it's toll, you'll never make it to the Superbowl.


9. ENOUGH

What the fuck is the matter with you? No need to fuck with my home town crew.

You're a big man, you're really tough. I've had it up to here, enough is enough.

Don't even try to bring us down! The numbers are to great, you'll just drown! Give me back the ball you don't deserve it, hardcore pride you've got to learn it. Brothers in arms, the stage is our field.

Straight edge for life, that's how I feel.


10. PIT OF EQUALITY

We don't care if you're black or white. We're all friends in the pit tonight.

I'll pick you up if you fall on me, we'll mosh in the pit of equality. Straight edge brothers in the pit together!

Singing straight edge anthems together! We're all friends if you're not high, and no one will go home with a black eye! In the pit, we're all the same, because hardcore's just a big football game. Ten Yard Fight is here to stay, and we won't tolerate any fowl play.


11. DRUG FREE NATION

We've...had...enough of your bullshit and your putting us down. Our team is rising up and we're going to surround. Your lies and deceit and discrimination, it's time to unite as one drug free nation!

Get a grip on yourself, or you'll never leave the bench. Use and abuse of drugs strips your common sense. In the game of life, it's a must to be a starter, if you get hit you gotta hit back harder.

There's no need for all this senseless pain, it's easily avoided if you're true to the game. Leave behind your addictions, there's nothing to fear. Suit up, grab the ball, put down that beer.


12. OFFSIDES

During practice you were always ready. Ran the plays so strong and steady. We pledged that we would tear them apart. But when it counted you lost your heart.

We thought you had a tight grip on the ball. They tried to tackle you, you would not fall. But when it counted you lost your grip. The field was dry but you still slipped.

You're offsides! You can't defend the things you do. You're offsides! We no longer have faith in you. You're offsides! You made the choice to leave the crew. You're offsides! We can't even stand the sight of you.


13. TILL DEATH
