ANTI-HEROS LYRICS

"The Tradition"

Born and raised from immigrant blood, made a hardworking man out of me
The code I live by is the honor and honesty
What I learned was passed down, from the ghosts of my family
Lessons learned long before, they came from across the sea

[Chorus: x2]
Friendship in struggle, courage in battle, wisdom in rage
Ardor in labor, piety in love, knowledge is sage

Sacrifice don't always have a reward, courage is something you can't afford
Pittsburgh steel in my fathers eye, the will to win and the guts to try
He showed no weakness not even a trace, 'til he broke his fist on my face
From US Steel to MIT, I cherish what my parents taught to me:

[Chorus x2]

When I'm older I'll raise a family,
I'll give them the substance that tempered me
They taught me the meaning of being the best I can,
They raised me to be a true American

[Chorus x2]
