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?

But out here on the borderline you've got to hold it together!
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.
And out here on the borderline it feels a lot like forever!
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.

  54. S.... ....

    Sounds A LOT like Corrosion of Conformity

  55. j.... ....

    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.

  56. s.... ....

    the bronx will eat your fuckin' face....if you can't appreciate the rawness of this band, you don't know shit about music...

    s.... ....

    Stop being a biased Slave and stop talking out your ass.

  57. M.... ....

    freshwater shark

  58. S.... B....

    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.

  59. M.... ....

    Thank you Trevor Dunn

  60. M.... A....

    Anyone know y the name of the band is "the Bronx"

  61. J.... H....

    T.... S....

    Tom Sizesmall imagine how I feel...7 years after you. Lmao

  69. k.... ....

    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.

  70. f.... ....

    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

  71. B.... B....

    9 People who need to be knifed

  72. P.... ....

  79. T.... ....

    Mariachi the Bronx is a novelty

  80. t.... ....

  82. P.... D....

    This awesome! Sounds like LA Guns!

  83. O.... ....

    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.

  84. A.... P....

    the toy shark scared me at first lol
