Beat The Bastards — Accept

Get up... Get the hell on outta here Cut the ropes that bind you Stand up... straight into your fear Leave the past behind you

Your cautious ways...have spawned your nothing

Life...is just an empty stage Where do you go from here Living...puts the words upon the page Open to a new frontier

Your mundane life... is history You'll seize the day... it's mystery

Chorus:

Cut the ripcord... don't look back Burn the bridges down Grab the handle... clench your fist Beat the bastards down

Fire... There's fire in your heart Flames of passion burn Higher... raging from the start And now there's no return

Go have your way... your fantasy Embrace the day... it's destiny

Chorus:

Cut the ripcord...don't look back Burn the bridges down Grab the handle...clench your fist Beat the bastards down Cut the ripcord, no turning back Bum the bridges down Grab the handle... Crack the whip Beat the bastards down beat em' down

Solo

Chorus:

Cut the ripcord... don't look back Burn the bridges down Grab the handle... clench your fist Beat the bastards down Cut the ripcord, no turning back Burn the bridges down Grab the handle... Crack the whip Beat the bastards down Beat em' down
