Better Off Dead |
| I wanna talk about a sound, a voice, a freedom, rejoice |
| I can’t stay silent while you take away our choice |
| The guns, the armour, the gossip, the drama |
| The innocent, guilty, we’re all free of karma |
| The nation, the rules, the patient, the fools |
| The picket lines inside, to close down schools |
| A chance we take, the path we tread |
| You can’t cry 'freedom', when you’re standing on the dead |
| Nobody put this in me, I only wanna get free |
| Battered out of hatred, jealousy, envy |
| Liars, the fakes, the funerals, the wakes |
| The life we live, you give, it takes |
| The stones we cast, the future, the past |
| The laws we break, too slow, too fast |
| The highs, the lows, we fell, we rose |
| Wi' happiness or woes, we come and we go… |
| GO! |
| I sing revolution while you’re trying to silence me |
| My resolution for a life I can lead |
| Adversity has become part of my destiny |
| I’d rather die on my feet, than ever live on my knees |
| And all I’m hearing is the news |
| The shots, the bombs, the plots |
| We separate and divide, the streets, the blocks |
| The free, the brave, the dead, the grave |
| Everyday combat, the ones you couldn’t save |
| The scars, the cracks, the science, the facts |
| Religion, control, the knife in our backs |
| The found, the lost, we pay, the cost |
| Genocide inside, we’re taken by the cross |
| Somebody put this in me, I only wanted to see |
| An end to all this hatred, jealously, envy |
| The fires, the scrapes, the records, the tapes |
| The weak, the strong, the love, the hate |
| The sails, the masts, no future, no past |
| Abuse we take, too slow, too fast |
| The highs, the lows, we fell, we rose |
| Wi' happiness or woes, we come and we go… |
| GO! |
| I sing revolution while you’re trying to silence me |
| My resolution for a life I can lead |
| Adversity has become part of my destiny |
| I’d rather die on my feet, than ever live on my |
| I sing revolution singing 'Oh, are you hearing me?' |
| My own solution for a new enemy |
| I close your arms, fall on you, lost in this misery |
| I’d rather die on my feet, than ever live on my |
| I’d rather die on my feet, than ever live on my |
| I’d rather die on my feet, than ever live on my knees |
| All pray, judge and leaders |
| You made us, none believers |
| These graves that you leave us, replace your promised freedom |
| All pray, judge and leaders |
| You made us none believers |
| These graves that you leave us, replace your promised freedom |
| All pray! |
