Pulse of the Maggots (Live Version)

This is the year where hope fails you

The test subjects run the experiments

And the bastard you know is the hero you hate

But cohesion is possible if we try

There's no reason, there's no lesson

No time like the present, telling you right now

What have you got to lose? What have you got to lose

Except your soul? (Are you with us motherfuckers?)

Then I wanna hear each and one of your fucking voices

Here we go

I fight for the unconventional

My right and it's unconditional

I can only be as real as I can

The disadvantage is I never knew the plan

(This isn't) Just a way to be a martyr

(I can't) Walk alone any longer

(I fight) For the ones who can't fight

And if I lose, least I tried

(We) We are the new diabolic

(We) We are the bitter bucolic

If I have to give my life, you can have it

(We) We are the pulse of the maggots

And I won't be the inconsequential

I won't be the wasted potential

I can make it as severe as I can

Until you realize you'll never take a stand

(It isn't) Just a one-sided version

(We've dealt) With a manic subversion

I won't let the truth be perverted

And I won't leave another victim deserted

(We) We are the new diabolic

(We) We are the bitter bucolic

If I have to give my life, you can have it

(We) We are the pulse of the maggots

Yes

(Do you understand?) Yes

(Do you understand?) Yes

(Do you understand?) Yes

Vegas, are you ready?

Say it again, say it again (We won't die)

Say it again, say it again (We won't die)

Say it again, say it again (We won't die)

Say it again, say it again (We won't die)

Say it again, say it again (We won't die)

Say it again, say it again (We won't die)

Say it again, say it again (We won't die)

Say it again, say it again (We won't die)

We fight till no one can fight us

We live and no one can stop us

We pull when we're pushed too far

And the advantage is, the bottom line is

(We never) Had to fight in the first place

(We only) Had to spit back in their face

(We won't) Walk alone any longer

What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger

(We) We are the new diabolic

(We) We are the bitter bucolic

If I have to give my life, you can have it

(We) We are the pulse of the maggots

Yes

Yes

Yeah

Yeah

One more time

Say it again, say it again (We won't die)

Say it again, say it again (We won't die)

Say it again, say it again (We won't die)

Say it again, say it again (We won't die)

Thank you

We've been coming here a long time, Vegas

Even before the first album

You were one of the fucking first cities to ever see us

Outside of where we were

And this very house

We made our stand against bullshit fucking music

And you stayed with us

So I need to know

Do you wanna come back to Iowa with us right now?
