lyrics

(Let's see...)
I'm holding nothing
You've got guns
You outnumber me 10 to 1
So here's the deal - I'm willing to pay
a whole dollar to anyone who walks away
Can anyone break a twenty?
Oh- never mind
I can see I'm keeping this 'cause none of you is walking out of here
on two broken legs
so let me just say what I came to say

Supersonic Soul is back
Like nothing you've faced before
This is not a push
No mercy, no quarter
This is war

What's the point of wrong and right
and good and bad and black and white
If hiding in the dark is making
fools and victims of the light?

I'm not afraid of shade
The jaded scum who make the dumb mistake
of waiting for day to fade
become my prey

I opened my eyes and analyzed the violent side
Standing by in silence
now it wants to come out
A certain satisfaction when I put a guy in traction
No harm in a broken arm
No one we should care about

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
Somebody's gonna get beaten good
and left to bleed
in a neighborly way
as a message and warning
to anyone who comes my way
Can you beg for mercy?
I knew that you could
I can see you're offering
to tell me nearly anything
to make the pain go away, but
I like you just the way you are

No need to show restraint
There's no reward for being a saint
The notion of a pure and noble hero fighting clean is quaint

Gave up naivete
To cease to cave or look away
I meet the craven evil and depraved halfway

No more mask
I got nothing to hide and nothing to lose
A name and a mission
Nothing you can use

So look at my face
Look into my eyes
Memorize, realize, whatever you do

I will come for you
