| I've been away from home | |
| Was outta sight | |
| No other change has come | |
| Who let the boredom in | |
| We got our rockin' rights | |
| We'll overcome | |
| The mirror never lies | |
| We'll show 'em how it's done | |
| We always dress in black | |
| To be unkind | |
| We always dress in black | |
| With you in mind | |
| It's the way of life we live - you know where we are coming from | |
| It's the way of life we live in - and we're not wrong | |
| 'cause it's the way of life we live - you know where we are coming from | |
| It's the way of life we live in - we are the strong | |
| We never will deceive | |
| Take no double-talk | |
| And all the fat cats bull | |
| Don't like the way we walk | |
| They spit behind our backs | |
| Unwelcomed class | |
| But it's way down deep | |
| They wanna be like us | |
| We always dress in black, ... | |
| It's the way of life we live, ... | |
| Time is ticking by | |
| For you life is such a lie | |
| You clipped your wings to fly | |
| You could have had it all - but! | |
| Work nine to five | |
| Finish fifty-five | |
| Only born to die | |
| You ever been alive? | |
| We always dress in black, ... | |
| It's the way of life we live, ... |
