Lyrics

Verse 1

Muddy

Boots on the soil

Grandfather bled for a plot of dirt

Now the fence is down

Gone

Empty

Broken promises in the wind

He held a rifle so I could hold a future

Now the future is sold

I'm looking at the ruins of a legacy

Hard work

Heavy loss

Nothing left but the ghosts in the hall

Chorus

They sacrificed it all

They gave it all

Just to watch the gates swing wide

Just to see the walls fall down

They sacrificed it all

They gave it all

Middle finger to the law

Middle finger to the system

Verse 2

Outlaw

Labeled a villain

By people who never swung a hammer

I'm just a simple man

A man

I stand

I speak my mind and they call it crime

Every word I say is a threat to the plan

Told me to be quiet

Told me to behave

Told me to forget the graves in the grass

Blood on the bayonet

Salt on the skin

Betrayal is a bitter taste in my mouth

No home

No hope

Just a shadow of a nation

Chorus

They sacrificed it all

They gave it all

Just to watch the gates swing wide

Just to see the walls fall down

They sacrificed it all

They gave it all

Middle finger to the law

Middle finger to the system

Bridge

Sold out the history

Sold out the family

Sold out the children

Why did they fight

Why did they die

Why did they bleed

If it was all for nothing

If it was all for this

Verse 3

Locked

Loaded

Locked in a cage of their making

The soil is tired

Dry

Cold

Dead

But my spirit is still breathing fire

I'm the grandson of the warriors

The one you couldn't break

The one you couldn't buy

Legacy

Honesty

Liberty

I'm taking it back from the thieves

Chorus

They sacrificed it all

They gave it all

Just to watch the gates swing wide

Just to see the walls fall down

They sacrificed it all

They gave it all

Middle finger to the law

Middle finger to the system

Outro

Simple man

Just a simple man

Raised high

Raised high

The gate is open but I'm still here

I'm still here

I'm still here
