Back in '88
I started a war
Burned 'em all
Fuck 'em all
Don't need a minute more
I tried to make my peace,
But I just held the pieces.
Where the hell have we been?
Where on earth are we going?
We could die tonight,
But theres no point in knowing.
So raise up your glass,
Make a toast to our lives tonight.
It's a hell of a past,
Welcome to the rest of your life.
Back in '88
I came from the womb
Now I'm on a date with the World and I take this bitch to my tomb
Moving up, never down, never looking back
Only when I put this bitch down on her back
She said, it's hard to get over you,
When you're still underneath me.
I said, it's hard to see what you're going through,
When all I see is me going through you repeatedly.
And theres people that want me dead,
And theres people that just want money.
They got a need that's like a bullet in the head,
It's funny how life ain't that funny.
I guess I'll have the last laugh,
Because I made it through the first half.
And I'm on my way to freedom,
Driving down the freeway to my very own kingdom.
Where the hell have we been?
Where on earth are we going?
We could die tonight,
But theres no point in knowing.
So raise up your glass,
Make a toast to our lives tonight.
It's a hell of a past,
Welcome to the rest of your life.
(Burn 'em all, fuck 'em all, don't need 'em anymore)
(Oh)
Back in '88
I rose from the dead
It's hard lockin' that you put all that bullshit to bed
I had all kinds of unkind friends,
But I was only kind of friends with.
Now I have the ones that end,
Only when the world is ended.
And theres still people that want me dead,
And theres people that just want money.
They got a need that's like a bullet in the head,
It's funny how life ain't that funny.
I guess I'll have the last laugh,
Because I made it to the second half.
I'm on my way to freedom,
Driving down the freeway to my very own kingdom.
Where the hell have we been?
Where on earth are we going?
We could die tonight,
But theres no point in knowing.
So raise up your glass,
Make a toast to our lives tonight.
It's a hell of a past,
Welcome to the rest of your life.
(Burn 'em all, fuck 'em all, don't need 'em anymore)
