A
Never straight and narrow
I won't keep in time
 G                                 A
Tend to burn the arrow out of the line
 A
Been inclined to wander
Off the beaten track
G
That's where there's
                             A
thunder and the wind shouts back

Chorus:
 E  F#m
Grinder
 E  F#m  A   F#m
Looking for meat
Grinder
Wants you to eat

Got no use for routine
I shiver at the thought
Open skies are my scene
that's why I won't get caught
Refuse to bait the mantrap
Be led to set the snare
I love to have my sight capped everywhere

Chorus

F#m
I've held my licence
It came with birth
E                         F#m
For self-reliance on this earth

You take the bullet
On which my name
Was etched upon in your game

Day of independence
Stamped us like a brand
Round the necks of millions to the land
As the mighty eagle
I need room to breathe
Witness from the treadmill, I take my leave

Chorus - x2

Grinder
