[Verse 1]
Faith is shaken as the ground rips open
And the earth is taken by the crowds of Locusts
Alone and hopeless, don't lose your focus
It's a war for the planet, let's show them who owns it!
I'll take guns over sorcery (Please)
There's no God, just a horde of these (Freaks)
There's no room for authority
Pardon me, Coronel Loomis, but you're boring me (You mad?)
Like taking all the COG's stuff wasn't enough
They had to drag him into court, just because he was tough
But he got the job done, now he's rugged as f—
Got the scruff on his chin, he's barely bound by the cuffs
And if it wasn't for him, we'd probably be gone
They would've swept the earth clean and had a free-for-all
It's a locust freak show, and we've seen it all
But not one has the guts to stop Kilo Squad (Nope!)

[Chorus]
I'm not the taking orders kinda guy (And I never was)
I've got you wondering how I'm still alive (Let me show you, man)
Gears of War, set the score and we don't stand alone
You'd be chock full of doubt when I break all your bones
Slam your face in the ground, won't me much left of you
All your friends will ask "Where the hell's the rest of you?!"
[Verse 2]
Grubs, Boomers, berserkers and drones
You can all go to hell, after all it's your home
I'll take you out with a Longshot, better lay low
'Cause I'll have your finest soldiers breaking out in rage mode!
You need some braces and a facelift too
I'll break out my chainsaw if that's OK with you
'Cause I'm an artist, fact, and I should start from scratch
My favorite part is painting all your guts with my gats
Pay your respects to my man, Cole Train
I've seen him take a pack of Locusts
And rip through the whole thing
He's got his name in the Thrashball Hall Of Fame
The glory days are gone, but glory stays the same
The old man is Paddock, he's no fan of the COG
But he sticks with his guns, that's why he's standing with us
Me and Sofia don't agree when it comes to the law
But the girl can drop locusts better than she can drop jaws

[Chorus]
I'm not the taking orders kinda guy (And I never was)
I've got you wondering how I'm still alive (Let me show you, man)
Gears of War, set the score and we don't stand alone
You'd be chock full of doubt when I break all your bones
Slam your face in the ground, won't me much left of you
All your friends will ask "Where the hell's the rest of you?!"
[Bridge]
Gears of War, all the more reason for me to own
You'll be out, full of doubt, and I'll send you back home
Don't delay, come and play, let your whole team run through
I don't want body armor, 'cause I'll just use you

[Chorus]
I'm not the taking orders kinda guy (And I never was)
I've got you wondering how I'm still alive (Let me show you, man)
Gears of War, set the score and we don't stand alone
You'd be chock full of doubt when I break all your bones
Slam your face in the ground, won't me much left of you
All your friends will ask "Where the hell's the rest of you?!"
