Got me fired up.

When The Whole World Hates You

When the Whole World Hates You

[intro]
There are those who play the favorite,
They're the belle of every ball,
And a league of clapping seals will give them cheers

But times when the whole world hates you,
And your back's against the wall,
Your success is weighed and measured by their tears,

It's the big guns they're bringin'...

You better come out swingin'...

[chorus]
'Cause they wanna see you crumble,
And their shots come down like rain,
Better rise up when you stumble,
Let 'em see you still remain,

All their knives are out for carving,
But they're guilty to a man,
When your foes align against you,
Then it's time to make a stand,

(When the whole world hates you!)
Want to make you scrape and bow!

(When the Whole world Hates you!)
They sure ain't gonna like you now!

[verse-syncopated]
Let 'em spout off vitriolic,
Saber rattle,
Hem and haw,
But they're not so hyperbolic,
When you smack one,
In the jaw,

Pouty lips and weak chest puffing,
'Cause they took one,
On the chin,
When their evidence is nothing,
Call their bluff,
And strike again

[chorus]
But don't think we'll be forgetting,
How your talking heads would gloat,
Now that knives are out for slitting,
Well you better watch your throats,

If you want to taunt the Tiger,
Better make sure that he's caged,
Now the gates of hell have opened,
And the Valley shakes with Rage,

(When the whole world hates you!)
If some petty kings cry treason,

(When the Whole world Hates you!)
Then let's give 'em all a reason,

[bridge]
When endless are your enemies,
All coming for your head,
Then battle is the remedy,
The time for talk is dead,
In the mighty coliseums,
("Are you all not entertained!?")
Turn them into mausoleums,
Until only one remains.

[outro chorus]
'Cause they wanna see you vanquished,
And they're never gonna stop
Let 'em clutch their pearls in anguish
As you're fighting to the top,

Every time they try to break us
Just makes more of us stand tall,
Let the coward's league forsake us,
But they'll have to face us alllll!......

(When the whole world hates you!)
You've got nothing left to lose!

(When the Whole world Hates you!)
There's no telling what we'll do....

[outro]
The Time is done for talking,
And now we play for keeps,

Beware the Tigers stalking,
Better watch out while you sleep.
