    Lyrics
    I'm not fucking around
    I think I'm coming out
    All the deceivers and cheaters
    I've think we've got a bleeder right now
    Want you to slap me around
    Want you to knock me out
    Well, you missed me kissed me
    Now you better kick me down

    Maybe you're the runner up
    But the first one to lose the race
    Almost only really counts in
    Horseshoes and hand grenades

    I'm gonna burn it all down
    I'm gonna rip it out
    Well, everything that you employ
    Was meant for me to destroy
    To the ground now
    So don't you fuck me around
    Because I'll shoot you down
    I'm gonna drink, fight and fuck
    And pushing my luck
    All the time now

    Maybe you're the runner up
    But the first one to lose the race
    Almost only really counts in
    Horseshoes and hand grenades

    Demolition, self-destruction
    What to annihilate
    The age-old contradiction
    Demolition, self-destruction
    What to annihilate
    The old age

    I'm not fucking around
    I think I'm coming out
    I'm a hater, a traitor
    In a pair of Chuck Taylors
    I'm not fucking around
    G-L-O-R-I-A
