Just like a needle in a haystack
another day when we run with the wolf pack
everybody wants a piece when you know how
you don't want to be on this side of know how
when you see the horizon fading
and the bright lights all start changing
when your fate pulls up in a flat black phaeton
you don't want to leave them waiting
cause they'll hook you up, they'll watch you drown
they've got us a picked for a life in the ground
they build the walls that house the sharks
they sell us torches and their the ones who makes it darkWhen this life tries to break us and beat us down
they send the beast just to push us around
we might exist with one foot in the grave
this life aint over we still got something to saveRedemption (oooh)
Redemption (oooh)Maybe two wrongs don't make it right
you don't want to bring a knife to a gun fight
you don't want to realize what they write down
you don't want to be around in the dog pound
when the chains not far from breaking
and the hand that feeds is taking
get you fist wrapped up and you got locked up
and the statements got you lying on the pavement
cause they'll hook you up, they'll watch you drown
they've got us a picked for a life in the ground
they build the walls that house the sharks
they sell us torches and their the ones who makes it darkWhen this life tries to break us and beat us down
they send the beast just to push us around
we might exist with one foot in the grave
this life aint over we still got something to saveRedemption (oooh)
Redemption (oooh)The blood and the sweat
you know where you at
they took what you had
now go take it back
the blood and the sweat
you know where you at
they took what you had
now go take it backWhen this life tries to break us and beat us down
they send the beast just to push us around
we might exist with one foot in the grave
this life aint over we still got something to saveRedemption (tries to break us and beat us down) (oooh)
(try to break us and beat us down)
Redemption (we still got something to save) (oooh)
Redemption
