Against the Grain

Like a fish out of water

Just a man on the run

Under starter's orders

Long before you hear the gun

You think you're in with the in crowd (In with the in crowd)

But you're out in the cold

Today you're giving the orders (Giving the orders)

Tomorrow you'll be bought and sold

Take a good hard look, tell me what you see

That's the difference between you and me

You've changed but I've stayed the same

You've compromised but I'm forever

Against the grain

Against the grain

Make the right impression

Squeeze into the mould

Twisted by possession

Believe all you're told

Just take it all for granted (All for granted)

But it's not what it seems

The power lust that you've planted (Lust that you've planted)

Will push you to the extreme

Take a good hard look, tell me what you see

That's the difference between you and me

You've changed but I've stayed the same

You've compromised but I'm forever

Against the grain

Against the grain

You think you're in with the in crowd (In with the in crowd)

But you're out in the cold

Today you're giving the orders (Giving the orders)

Tomorrow you'll be bought and sold

Take a good hard look, tell me what you see

That's the difference between you and me

You've changed but I've stayed the same

You've compromised but I'm forever against the grain
