I've been away from home

Was outta sight

No other change has come

Who let the boredom in



We got our rockin' rights

We'll overcome

The mirror never lies

We'll show 'em how it's done



We always dress in black

To be unkind

We always dress in black

With you in mind



It's the way of life we live - you know where we are coming from

It's the way of life we live in - and we're not wrong

'cause it's the way of life we live - you know where we are coming from

It's the way of life we live in - we are the strong



We never will deceive

Take no double-talk

And all the fat cats bull

Don't like the way we walk



They spit behind our backs

Unwelcomed class

But it's way down deep

They wanna be like us



We always dress in black, ...



It's the way of life we live, ...



Time is ticking by

For you life is such a lie

You clipped your wings to fly

You could have had it all - BUT!



Work nine to five

Finish fifty-five

Only born to die

You ever been alive?



We always dress in black, ...



It's the way of life we live, ...
