I've never been good in following rules I’ve been called all kinds of names by losers and fools I’ve rolled with rebels, they taught me my ways The things I believe in and the words that I say I’ve changed quite a bit through the passage of time But some things never change in an outlaw’s mind I'm gonna tell you something them people taught me When freedom is outlawed only outlaws will be free So keep telling yourself you’re all righteous and kind I know I am no good but I don’t live a lie Scream all you want, I don't give a shit I am who I am and that’s just the way it is So fuck the hard times, cause outlaws will always get by I ain't someone you can convince easily The swimming with the tide shit is not something for me Don’t tread on me is all I gotta say The come and take it attitude, man, it's the only way I got those out there standing by my side We'll never go down without our share of fights Freedom is not something I'm willin’ to give Cause once we lose it, we are all stuck in shit So keep telling yourself you’re all righteous and kind I know I am no good but I don’t live a lie Scream all you want, I don't give a shit I am who I am and that’s just the way it is So fuck the hard times, cause outlaws will always get by Outlaws will always get by Mister your leadership means nothing to me Your fake ass words of kindness I don’t wanna hear I got my own ways and I'm sure ain’t ashamed Got my own rules, I ain’t playing your game It's kill or be killed out there, I'm telling you son You can easily wind up at the wrong end of guns If you gonna live this life, boy, you better be tough In this messed up world a good man was ever enough So keep telling yourself you’re all righteous and kind I know I am no good but I don’t live a lie Scream all you want, I don't give a shit I am who I am and that’s just the way it is So fuck them hard times, outlaws will always get by Outlaws will always get by
