[Verse 1]
Cutting life with a razor’s edge
When you can’t sleep but still go to bed
You can deal
You can deal
You can deal but you can’t ever win
[Verse 2]
Go back home to below your station
Like a refugee from the aryan nation
Can appeal
Can appeal
Can appeal
But you’re still them within
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me stories of famous men
I can’t see myself in them
We could steal
We could steal
We could steal
But we’re stealing from them
[Chorus]
And I see them standing outside of the casino
And in their eyes are things that you and I could never know
[Verse 3]
Throwing down with the least provocation
With that vintage steel from your dad’s generation

[Verse 4]
Getting high it’s a family tradition
Adding one more kid to a cycle that’s vicious
Can appeal
Can appeal
Can appeal
But you’ll still be them, them, them, them
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me stories of famous men
I can’t see myself in them
We could steal
We could steal
We could steal
But we’re stealing from them
[Chorus]
And I see them standing outside of the casino
And in their eyes are things that you and I could never know

In the movie a group of non-racist UK skinheads in the 80s are radicalized through prison, poverty, and needless war. The results are violent and tragic. When I watched it I felt like I recogni...
