blinded by faith – chernobyl survivor lyrics

i was only ten, and even then
i listened to my maiden at maximum volume
it was so easy to drive the neighbours crazy
i remember them saying “this child is going nowhere”

but i didn’t care, “who are you to judge me?
go mow your lawn and leave me alone.
i’ll crank it up so i won’t hear your dumb sh-t.
and grow my hair just because you hate it”

this music gave me the strength to say f-ck ’em

chorus:
i love it when the tubes overheat and crack, about to
explode
when distortion roars like thunder in the storm
i wanna pump all the power and burn all the fuses
i’ll surely die deaf,’cause my motto is: the louder the
better

twenty years later, things haven’t changed, i carry on
spreading the plague, yielding the h-rns

i must have sniffed some gun powder
i feel radioactive like a chern-byl survivor
and when i’ll be in the madhouse at 50 years-old
i’ll be the only b-st-rd up and screaming: “rock and
roll!”

banging my metal head against the padded wall
knocking on death’s door
this sh-t’ll give me the strength to say f-ck you all
once again, motherf-ckers

chorus
