Lyrics The Stories Are True - Tim Armstrong

The Stories Are True

Criminals killed kings, so which one’s the better?
Come on now, open your suicide letter
Lying on the floor, you’re thinking you’re dead
But you wanna live life and do it instead
You gotta understand how to be true
It’s out with the old and in with the new
You gotta do it now, and you don’t wanna go Come on now, life is your show
Come on now, let it go Everything that you know
Step aside, let it ride
We’re turning the tide
It’s out with the old
And in with the new
Step aside
The stories are true
Blast 'em just like a shotgun
Back down never to no one
Understand exactly where I come from
Take me into the action
These are stories that are true, no lie
Days of destruction, you wonder why
I’m a punk rocker til the day I die
Days come and days go, life’s gonna pass by Affiliations everywhere I go London, New York, LA, Tokyo
This world is the world I know
A world of no rules, nowhere I won’t go Let me open up the door for you
Let you into a whole new world for you
You see you never know
Where you’ll end up tomorrow
Come on now, let it go Everything that you know
Step aside, let it ride
We’re turning the tide
It’s out with the old
And in with the new
Step aside
The stories are true
The next thing you know, the victim that was beaten
Was the same person you thought was undefeated
Lying there, next in the line
Sometimes kid, you gotta do your time
Think about the fall and what you did wrong
Before you can move along
You gotta do it now, you gotta know
Come on now, life is your show
Come on now, let it go Everything that you know
Step aside, let it ride
We’re turning the tide
It’s out with the old
And in with the new
Step aside
The stories are true
