lyrics

Crucify the pretender
Knock me down just see how far I rise
Staring down a double-barrel loaded with imperfection
So throw your nose up in quiet protest
Who asked you what I represent?
God save the queen says I must repent

Spotlight down on this has-been scene
Because I’m God's own fuckin mockstar
Getting by on slavin out my soul
Take your one shot baby
Cause it’s do or die
Fightin like hell to get recognized
That I’m not saving rock n roll

Strung out and self-righteous
I been thinkin for myself again
And I think I might just grab your attention
Ain’t hookin for your charity
Just selling my integrity while I’m
86’d again by another pretention

Spotlight down on this has-been scene
Because I’m God's own fuckin mockstar
Getting by on slavin out my soul
Take your one shot baby
Cause it’s do or die
Fightin like hell to get recognized
That I’m not saving rock n roll

I ‘m gonna spit on everyone
Cause I’m the world’s forgotten son
Going out of my way to take you down

Crucify the pretender
Yeah can music save your mortal soul when
You’re just the latest mockstar
And you sure ain’t rock n roll

Spotlight down on this has-been scene
Because I’m God's own fuckin mockstar
Getting by on slavin out my soul
Take your one shot baby
Cause it’s do or die
Fightin like hell to get recognized
That I’m not saving rock n roll

F-Units New York, New York

F-Units have created their own personal brand of punk-influenced hard rock and get their name from diesel engine locomotives built by General Motors’ Electro-Motive Division in the 1940s and 50s — a metaphor for the band’s sound — “hard, fast, loud… fueled by power-pop hooks and raunch-rock riffs slammed together with the heavy driving force of a runaway freight train”. ... more
