We’re the last ones there at closing time, the first ones in the fight
You know we’ll start the trouble but we’ll buy you drinks all night
We never fit the normal and we stand out from the pack
But no matter what the circumstance, we always got your back

Chorus
We’re the Bastards of America
From street to shining street
Cuz we all know that we’re all going to go
So you might as well go out on your feet

We never get the credit but we shoulder all the blame
They turn around and curse the ground when bringing up our names
We’ll soldier through the bad times, and get wasted through the best
Cuz God protects the crazy ones, the devil takes the rest

Chorus

So here’s to all the bastards that we knew back in the day
The ones we’ve known forever, and the ones still on the way
We’re always bad examples but you know that we don’t care
Cuz if we’re going straight to hell, we know we’ll meet you there

We are the bastards of America
From street to shining street
Cuz we all know that we’re all going to go
So you might as well go out on your feet
We are the bastards of America
From street to shining street
We are the bastards of America
The worst of friends and best of enemies
