Bronx, The - Knifeman Lyrics
I wanna be original; I wanna be surrounded by art.
But everything is digital; the formulas are fallin' apart.
They riot in the streets because there's not enough money to share.
Is the burden of fame just a universal cross we can bear?
You've been deprived of dedication, you've been condemned by your dreams.
Is it as bad as it seems? And can you pull the hook from your mouth?
Do you wanna feel the breeze before the air you breathe finally runs out?
We're divided it seems. This is a diary of life in between.
This is a obese and obscene. This isn't music it's a pyramid scheme.
Oh...
And out here on the borderline you've gotta hold it together!
You've been deprived of dedication, you've been condemned by your dreams.
We'll all be dead if this machine turns art into routine.
Thieves have taken the crown, melted it down,
Kept an ear to the ground, now they're praying for sound.
And I don't know what's found.
'Cause we used to be gifted, and persistent.
Now we're bored, reminiscent.
We used to laugh with how misery spoon-fed our desire
We've lost our fire!
And now they won't remember our names.
Our days are mixed in the crowd, and our nights spent fanning the flames
But out here on the borderline you've gotta hold it together!
You've been deprived of dedication, you've been condemned by your dreams.
But oh... out here on the borderline it feels a lot like forever!
We'll all be dead if this machine turns art into a routine.
(Dead and gone, dead and gone)
Thieves have taken the crown.
(Dead and gone, dead and gone)
And have melted it down.
(Dead and gone, we're dead and gone)
Thieves have taken the crown.
(Dead and gone, we're dead and gone)
And now they're praying for sound.

Thank you for everything The Bronx 🌻✌🔥☄
Saw these guys in Fort Lauderdale the other night. This band brings such excellent energy! Love em!
I remember when I found out that these guys actually aren't from The Bronx and I was like really?!?!
This is on III https://www.discogs.com/it/The-Bronx-The-Bronx/master/185074
This was prbly really 'fun' to shoot
trowing a shark into a pool?
the fuck is wrong with those people why isnt peta stopping this?!?
Tough stuff....
I guess if you sit around in your mommies basement all day and watch cartoons you would have nothing better to do then compare a badass singer to a cartoon get a job go see him live fagg
check him crowd surfing the whole song history's stragglers on here. SICK!
Very catchy but guitar sounds similar to "Half-Life" by Local H.
why they went mariachi from this??
The other way around
Nah, they were The Bronx, then they were El Mariachi. Look at the publication dates of their albums.
These are the same guys in Mariachi El Bronx? I am officially in love with this band.
Yep, the same.
+Annaliese Quinones BEFORE there was mariachi, there was this crazyness for years. Cheers!
Christopher Ransom Always is, and always will be.
@Legs Magee Bro Legs Magee is a fucking sick username.
So good. Amazing live too

ampeg dan armstrong
@YorkShabby The waterproof kind.
your moms.
+Christopher Vestal best comment so far lol
Kelby what are you, 7?
ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT-bring us bullets

Matt Caughthran looks like a grown up version of Dash from The Incredibles.

'youve been condemned by your dreams' got me here
OOOOOOOOOOO
This band reminds me of Iggy and the Stooges
2:48 so fucking awesome
these guys are fucking awesome live
orionfest
This is one of the cheesiest music videos I've ever seen
I saw these guys open for Bad Religion in Denver last night. Can't stop listening now lol
I just saw these guys live.....THEY ROCKED THE HOUSE!!! Very under-rated band. The live show represents the music alot better than the albums. I suggest catching them if they come to a town near you. ( im an old skool punker with ole skool punker friends...take it for what its worth )
This song kicks ass. I just heard it for the first 6 times!
dude i saw them at warped in 07, SAME DAMN STORY.... but he was walking around while the pit followed him
you're a complete moron
this isnt fucking hardcore, the song is 4 fucking minutes
yes , the bronx rules
Хэлл факин е!
if you squeeze your arse cheeks together tight enough and propper force it out
FUCK any band calling themselves "THE BRONX" who don't come from The Bronx!
How dare they! No automatic gravitas!
please, please, please check out our band ALBION, like, subscribe and peace!!!
this is off the bronx III isn't it?
amazing last night in guilford!
I finally understand. If this is punk. I'm a punk
wow 4 minutes underwater that has to be a record xD just kidding xD
stop. you found it. this is the punk rock.
Taken from the album "The Bronx II", available to purchase now from the Wichita Recordings store.
it is actually taken from The Bronx III
shit yeah! BRONX!
Have you seen my page Philcoool ? I had 2 competition with a guy callled 1234 in boxing and push ups who lived in the Bronx after I beat him he decided to contact utube and get them removed.I can't understand why I am 51 now and not the fittest man.Take a look and make up your own mind
@jordmann111 inveigh & shifty future r fucking cool
Attention description, this is from The Bronx III.
This band fucking kicks ass. They are all the best dudes as well.
rocket from the crypt-bring us bulets
GROEZROCK 2012 FUCK YEAH!
saw them yesterday i Stockholm one of the best conserts I have been to! They kicked ass
Sounds A LOT like Corrosion of Conformity
This band deserves a bigger following. Saw them live this summer on a festival, not to many spectators, and those who were there weren't all too psyched. The singer didn't think that was all to awesome, so he jumped out into the croud and startet a mosh pit and generally messed shit up. He stayed in the croud for a few songs, while singing flawlessly the whole time.
Pluss that the songs, especially this one, fuckin rocks.
the bronx will eat your fuckin' face....if you can't appreciate the rawness of this band, you don't know shit about music...
Stop being a biased Slave and stop talking out your ass.
freshwater shark
Took me a few listens to get into a few of the songs off this album but now it fucking rocks hard.
I love The Bronx.
Thank you Trevor Dunn
Anyone know y the name of the band is "the Bronx"
reading festival, yeaaaah buddy!
it took me 30 seconds 2 realize tht this is the best band ever...
@gutts077 i just got into them a week ago,...
good song and cool concept for a music video but if i were in the band i wouldve been like fuck that im not putting my drums in a pool
@TheyCallMeCade You facking kant
@TrafficMonitor I hear ye G!
@PlumptonPresents i love pink floyd
ARGH!!! Why the fuck am I only getting into this band now! I am so fucking out of the loop!! There must be like a thousand other bands out there as awesome as these guys that I don't know shit about! Fuck getting old man!
Tom Sizesmall imagine how I feel...7 years after you. Lmao
I discovered these guys about 3 or 4 years back and haven't been able to stop listening to them. These guys are just amazing. Pile driving riffs with great vocals. Hoping for a new album soon.
the vocals/lyrics and the gradual layering of the guitar riffs over the main simple riff are what make this song incredible...and well everything else really...amazing underrated band
9 People who need to be knifed
@mr2ben It's always been that way kiddo.
@pinetone000 yes
the bronx represent all that is great about ball ripping music
My farts sound better than that!!!!!
THE ACE OF SPADES.
ew my cousin is dating lead singer, they suck
Have you met the guy?
I worked with them as stagecrew on a festival... these guys are the fucking real deal, can't get any more rock "n roll. They showed up with 2 guitarcases and a snare drum....
@jessoad89 You have diarrhea
of the mouth boy.
Mariachi the Bronx is a novelty
like it? no I LOVE IT!
@mr2ben also, there in a pool.
This awesome! Sounds like LA Guns!
people that only make music on pc platforms with no instruments simply don't know how to play anything half the time. tapping out little beats and fx...not difficult. some electronic stuff is great, but most is just some jack off that can't get off the computer anyway and thinks that the shit made on a bootleg copy of garage band or ableton lite is good music when it's really just a mod podge of shit fx and filtered words with fx on those too. so tragic.
the toy shark scared me at first lol
frick yeah meing
MAGNIFICENT
@studioparoxysm hell yes I was at that show. One of the best sets I've seen from any band
rock´n´roll
@studioparoxysm I was at that show too... Incredible gig. Hi Fi = Best Venue.... Might only have a capacity of 1200... but defo best in brisbane and yes Matt loved the Crowd... haha. As did Puciato of Dillinger Escape Plan last week... hehe
fuken killer band and track.
This kicks fucking ass... highly addictive too...
thanks

@stevic28 And that is the magic of The Bronx in general when you get down to it, beauty in simplicity lol
