By tooth and claw, by hook or crook Pretty covers on dirty books Through hazy nights and wasted days No sleep in the gutter, sleep in your grave
The scum also rises The scum also rises
Heart pounding, short of breath Bitter taste of dust and death Don't wanna know, ain't gonna care Another dream been worn threadbare
The scum also rises The scum also rises The scum also rises The scum also rises
Hated and despised There's fear in your eyes When we start to rise No escape tonight There's no wrong or right Set this town alight This our revenge Watch you break and bend This will be your end Trodden under heel Caught up in the kill Now your fate is sealed
Lift up your head, don't turn away Cause every dog gets just one day
Grasp at straws, shoot out the lights Day won't come, so burn though the night
The scum also rises The scum also rises The scum also rises The scum also rises
