I was a ticking time bomb ready to explode
Gave up my life, changed my postcode
Saw my mother cry as I walked down the road
To where no one knew my voice
And no one knew my name
Bought what I was sold
Signed my life away
For an ego trip and little bit of pay
I did my best to play the game
But I learned that shit the hard way
I've made deals with the devil
But hell can't hold down a rebel
Walked that line with everything I've done
But I don't run
I went and built a one man town
When I was living in the underground
Yeah I've always been a defier
An outlier
The outsider
I was screaming out loud but I didn't have a voice
Ain't the first time that I've had to make a choice
Lose who I am or down out the noise
Drown out the noise
Yeah I did my best to walk away
But I learnt that shit the hard way
I've made deals with the devil
But hell can't hold down a rebel
Walked that line with everything I've done
But I don't run
I went and built a one man town
When I was living in the underground
Yeah I've always been a defier
An outlier
The outsider
I was a ticking time bomb ready to explode
Gave up my life, changed my post code
Saw my mother cry as I walked down the road
I've made deals with the devil
But hell can't hold down a rebel
Walked that line with everything I've done
But I don't run
