Cult Born Into This Lyrics
1.Born Into This

Lyricist:Ian Robert Astbury, William Henry Duffy

Come on

Yeah, NYC, the place to be
Look at all the rock heads like you and me
Push against the pavement, take it to the street
Sick of all the hype now riding on the beat, yeah

Come on

Don't let us down, don't let us down
They're chasing us around all over town

Me watching power, illuminate the night
Pixilated fury, I'm blinded watch as I
Blank generation, they gots us
Knowing what the game is, never steal from us

Come on

Don't let us down, don't let us down
They're chasing us around all over town
Don't let us down, don't let us down
They're chasing us around all over town, yeah

Lead the way, man, drop your wall
Lead the way, man, drop your wall

Savage scene, you gotta chase the dream
Stand tall but you gotta root it all
Scarred for life, you gotta let it bleed
Burn the scene

Lead the way, man, drop your wall
Lead the way, man, drop your wall
Come together, come on

Don't let us down, don't let us down
Oh, come on
They're chasing us around all over town, oh

Don't let us down, don't let us down
Oh no
They're chasing us around all over town
Oh no, oh no, oh no


2.Citizen

Paris is burning
The city alight
the club kids on fire
they're doing it right
they're keeping it punk rock
they're keeping it tight
ripping out speakers
and pumping hi-fi

A higher love that rises above
Rises above yeah a higher love
See the silver set beneath the stars
a hundred million voices that cry as ours

The hoods are all right
the climate is rising
pollution is high
you better take cover
get caught in the sights
A higher love that rises above
Rises above yeah a higher love
See the silver set beneath the stars
a hundred million voices that cry as ours

to rise above it all above our hearts
she gave everthing everything to me
See the silver set beneath the stars
a hundred million voices that cry as ours

to rise above it all above our hearts
she gave everthing everything to me
See the silver set beneath the stars
a hundred million voices that cry as ours

to rise above it all above our hearts
she gave everthing everything to me


3.Diamonds

Drop all your
You ain't got nothing to say
My girls no flirt she can walk
and she walks like she talks

My girl fade away
she got diamonds every day
don't even
when she walks away
she's all mine
she decides

She's got diamonds
on the inside
my girl
she's got diamonds
on the inside
she watch the world fade away
---
ignore every look that you throw down
and she stands around

She's got diamonds
on the inside
she's my girl
she's got diamonds
on the inside
she's my girl
She's a diamond
She's my girl
on the inside
she's my girl


4.Dirty Little Rock Star

So you be a Dirty Little Rockstar
Blood stained sleeve your Slimane Dior
You live a lie sold your soul for the paper
Ya be a slave be a media whore
Snake skin heal and a cold black charm
Shootin saphires up a dead man's arm
Hyenna lurk outside your door
You're passed out on the bathroom floor

Bite your lip

Shake your hip
Taste the whip
You wanna be a Dirty Little Rockstar
I don't see no Dirty Little Rockstar

Chaos breeds under heaven's skyline
Your young hearts are melting only phoenix survive
Stay in the game you sick lil hipster
You get it all, get ahead


5.Holy Mountain

Lyricist:Ian Robert Astbury, William Henry Duffy

I fell in love
With your face
Take down the walls
Of this place

You're a wild thing
You say wild things
But much too wild I think

You're a wild thing
You say wild things
But much too wild I think

And you sense the heat in my heart
And she broke me down like a dog
And I cried and cried
Till I couldn't speak no more

You're a wild thing
May say wild things
But much too wild I think

Child
Hush your mouth
Innocence
Please don't speak

You're a wild thing
You say wild things
But much too wild I think

You're a wild thing
And everything you say wild things
But much too wild I think


6.I Assassin

Survival of the fittest baby
Yeah, who thought life was so damn easy
Try to run before you crawl
Yeh innocent til' they prove you guilty
Got yourself some bad information
A victim of their communication
You can run, but you just can't hide
Baby you gotta let it ride

Guilty,
Steal your
Steal your love
Cos you burn brightly in the darkness alone
You burn brightly in the dark

Got yourself some bad information
Victim of their communication
You can run but you just can't hide
Baby you gotta let it ride
Guilty,
Steal your
Steal your love

Cos you burn brightly in the darkness alone
You burn brightly in the dark
Yeh run on my own
From so far, so my heart stops breaking
Alone
On my own

Cos you burn brightly in the darkness alone
Cos You burn brightly in the dark
Yeh run on my own
From so far, so my heart stops breaking
Alone
On my own


7.Illuminated

Lyricist:Ian Robert Astbury, William Henry Duffy

You've run into the city
The center of it all
New vision and new language
To camouflage the fall

But they had no reason
To stand there doing time
Profit from the season
The path consumes the lie

Shine on
Illuminated
Shine on
Illuminated

Angel head destroyer
Young heart torn to shreds
You savage violent favors
On canvas blood is shed

But they had no reason
To stand there doing time
Profit from the season
The path consumes the lie

Shine on
Illuminated
Shine on
Illuminated
Shine on

And we all shine on
And we all shine on
Illuminated

But they had no reason
To stand there doing time
Profit from the season
The path consumes the lie

Shine on
Illuminated
And we all shine on
Illuminated

Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Illuminated


8.Savages

Lyricist:Ian Robert Astbury, William Henry Duffy, Christopher Wyse

It's alright now
We're alright now
Yeah, we're fighters
You and me

Soul survivor
Start a fight like lovers can
Don't surrender to the man

We're alright now
We're alright now

They can't take us
They'll never break us
She, my baby she stands tall

She, my baby above it all
Not a pussycat at all
She's a leopard but she don't crawl

They can't take us
They'll never break us
They can't take us
They'll never break us

They can't take us
They'll never break us
Apart
Surround us


9.Sound Of Destruction

Got a fist full of ice
Got a head full of speed
Got a fist full of ice
Got a head full of speed
I hear the sound of destruction
I smell a rose of seduction

Got a fist full of ice baby
Got a head full of speed
Just gimme what I want now
Just gimme what I need

I don't fear anyone
Stray dog fighting
haters run
I got lighting in my eye
I ain't no dirty suicide

I don't fear anyone
Stray dog fighting
haters run
I got lighting in my eye
I ain't no dirty suicide
In this world full of ice
Truth is just a disease
A cheap way to please
So stop pleasing me

We're on the path of destruction
We're right up for destruction
Got a fist full of ice
Got a head full of speed

I don't fear anyone
Stray dog fighting
haters run
I got lighting in my eye
I ain't no dirty suicide

I don't fear anyone
Stray dog fighting
haters run
I got lighting in my eye
I ain't no dirty suicide


10.Stand Alone

I have chosen to abandon my post
Become a refugee of this fantastic life
And all are moved moved by feelings of love

11.Tiger In The Sun

Lyricist:Ian Robert Astbury, William Henry Duffy

We hope for so much more
With your shock and awe
But the writing's on the wall
But we don't hide, we're not your kind
See your golden temple fall

Tiger burning in the sun
Baby, I'm the only one
I'm not who they want me to be
Come and take this spell off of me

Yeah, the children's flesh for sale
And your tarot hooks
Reach deep with golden claws
And this devil in the war

Tiger burning in the sun
Baby, I'm the only one
I'm not who they want me to be
Yeah, come and take this spell off of me

We drown sometimes
We drown, break down
How long? How alone?
How long? How alone?

We can have it all
We can have it all
Have it all, have it all

Tiger burning in the sun
Baby, I'm the only one
I'm not who they want me to be
Yeah, come and take this spell off of me

We can have it all, have it all
Have it all, have it all

We can have it all, we can have it all
We can have it all, we can have it all
We can have it all, have it all
