about

This track is a revision of Chemical imbalance and is not intended to be a cover or a remake instead it is a revision with all the passion and forethought that went into the original. Paul Raven(Killing Joke, Ministry, Prong) had a specific desire to put his imprint on this song and so we did! If you don't like it then fuck off! this is my song and I will do what I want with it! With that in mind I hope you enjoy it!

This song will be mastered and released in 2019 with a collection of Chemical Imbalance remixes titled "Misdiagnosed". This release will also contain a rerecording of Chemical Imbalance by Skatenigs.

lyrics

I’d like to thank you people…
For sticking the knife in my back…
I’d like to thank you people…
For twisting the knife in my back…
Trouble doesn’t find me…I find it…
People want to make some…
But I don’t take shit… I don’t take shit!

Patience is a virtue; “That’s what we are taught, assault!”
I’m only sorry, when I am caught
My mouth is foamy from the vicious attack
The satisfaction of a rabid pack
Cockroaches; determined to survive…
Microwave me; watch me come alive…

Mortal but invincible…Skatenigs! Skatenigs!
Makin’ life livable…Skatenigs! Skatenigs!
Mortal but invincible…Skatenigs! Skatenigs!
We’re makin’ life livable…Skatenigs! Skatenigs!

Take a look at my world; “Through a hole in the wall!”
Dystopia where the blind eyes see all
I’d rather die on my feet, than live on my knees
Suffer for me, then suffer your disease
There’s the sty in the eye of beholder…A stye in the eye of the beholder

Mortal but invincible…Skatenigs! Skatenigs!
Makin’ life livable…Skatenigs! Skatenigs!
Mortal but invincible…Skatenigs! Skatenigs!
We’re makin’ life livable…Skatenigs! Skatenigs!

Like an animal locked up in a cage
my inheritance I was born to rage!
I don't care about tomorrow
Because I'm living today
My own way...this is what we say!

Mortal but invincible…Skatenigs! Skatenigs!
Makin’ life livable…Skatenigs! Skatenigs!
Mortal but invincible…Skatenigs! Skatenigs!
We’re makin’ life livable…Skatenigs! Skatenigs!
Mortal but invincible…Skatenigs! Skatenigs!
Makin’ life livable…Skatenigs! Skatenigs!
Mortal but invincible…Skatenigs! Skatenigs!
We’re makin’ life livable…Skatenigs! Skatenigs!
