tombstone da deadman – anti-hero lyrics
[intro]
“you chose the way of the hero
and they found you amusing for a while
the people of this city?
but the one thing they love more than a hero
is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying
in spite of everything you’ve done for them
eventually they will hate you
[verse 1]
don’t see me as a cookie cutter do-gooder you’re used to
i’m rough around the edges break the rules only to speak the truth
and it’s never in the format that’s designed to make you comfortable
for those that’s criticizing my methods i’ve heard enough of you
i’m rocking no capes, no catch phrases, or smiley faces
no tolerance for your ignorant statements and zero patience
for that bullshit that ya’ll stay with, so i attack it frequently
with no cut cards cause you frauds be lacking decency
in fact don’t even speak to me, i’m busy on my mission to make things
the way they need to be, a vigilante secretly
moving unseen and uninhibited, unrestrained so i’m not limited
in the ways that justice is distributed
i watched the way you picketed, and stood outside marching with your little signs
wasting time but nothing changed or ended it
desperate times call for desperate measures if you not about it
they gonna shrug their shoulders no matter how loud you go and shout it
[chorus]
they can make a pretty speech
(and it’d be all lies)
but when i speak the truth
(these people want me tongue tied)
sometimes the rules are weak
(because it helps the wrong side)
so f-ck the good guys, i’d rather be an anti-hero
i’d rather be an anti-hero
i’d rather be an anti-hero (i’d rather be an anti-hero)
i’d rather be an anti-hero
i’d rather be an anti-hero
[verse 2]
see this is how the problem starts, the evil villains are at large
but get away with everything because the villains are in charge
and you get mad at me cause my language you feel is subpar
but somehow can’t get angry at people that kept you down, huh?
it’s crazy cause the lazy ones will use this language every day
but do it to a beat and watch them curse you for the things you say
censor all of your thoughts and even if they feel the same way
or book you for a show but then get scared and say you can’t play
my music is my anger manifested flowing constantly
and just because you’re not enraged it don’t mean something’s wrong with me
it means that something’s wrong with you, or maybe everything is cool
and you don’t mind the things that’s going on cause you’re a f-cking fool
i think you’re too accepting of the f-ckery, shenanigans
so when i overturn the applecart you start the panicking
imagine if men not scared of conflict starting vanishing
you wouldn’t fight to save your life you’d stand there like a manikin
[chorus]
they can make a pretty speech
(and it’d be all lies)
but when i speak the truth
(these people want me tongue tied)
sometimes the rules are weak
(because it helps the wrong side)
so f-ck the good guys, i’d rather be an anti-hero
i’d rather be an anti-hero
i’d rather be an anti-hero (i’d rather be an anti-hero)
i’d rather be an anti-hero
i’d rather be an anti-hero
[verse 3]
now there’s a time for conversation, but there’s a time for getting gritty
and shooting arrows to their face yelling “you failed this city”
you can dance around these issues diplomatic if you want to
but the villains not respecting that shit and they will stunt on you
spit a crazy monologue about how they’re above the law
because the world just needs to die and they’re the ones to do it all
while everything around you falls and you’re succ-mbing to your fear
the last thing that you hear is his laughter that’s ringing in your ears
f-ck that i’m coming through blazing two gun gripping
clip em put the bad guy in the ground all while he was ego tripping
then go out the fire escape and dash down the alleyway
while dodging the police helicopters that want to make me pay
ignoring all discussions bout tactics and repercussions
f-ck em this the only justice i know because the system bluffing
and if you really knew what i knew, you’d do the same thing
to every preaching, fake politician that tried to play king
[chorus]
they can make a pretty speech
(and it’d be all lies)
but when i speak the truth
(these people want me tongue tied)
sometimes the rules are weak
(because it helps the wrong side)
so f-ck the good guys, i’d rather be an anti-hero
i’d rather be an anti-hero
i’d rather be an anti-hero (i’d rather be an anti-hero)
i’d rather be an anti-hero
i’d rather be an anti-hero
