| To fight for my freedom, I don’t need a gun or a knife.
|
| I just need some open space to run for my life.
|
| The ground is sinking and the walls closing in.
|
| When I get to the bottom I get up and start all over again.
|
| Just passin' time until the big one.
|
| As we leave it all behind.
|
| And move on up to a brighter future
|
| It’s no easy climb.
|
| But I’ll never say die…
|
| I’ll never say die…
|
| My mom and dad never understood.
|
| But compared to their problems, you know, mine looked good.
|
| They screamed, «Where's the money?"and «Where's all the love?»
|
| And «Where's the help from the man up above?»
|
| I never gave up my religion
|
| As I did my teenage time.
|
| I said, «When I’m of age, I wanna walk out smilin'
|
| Maybe I’ll cry…
|
| But I’ll never say die…»
|
| I’ll never say die… Ohhh!
|
| Oooh never say die — I’ll never say…
|
| Oooh never say die — No I will never, never, never say…
|
| Oooh never say die — Oh, I’ll never say die…
|
| Oooh never say die…
|
| Two generations I’ve been through
|
| '69 was heavy, yea, but, what did it prove?
|
| Just a bunch of hippies could become businessmen
|
| And burn our bodies, a flag, and a couple of friends.
|
| Now as we enter 1980
|
| We’re modern humans in a modern time.
|
| So all you children of the '60's
|
| It’s no easy climb.
|
| But don’t ever say die…
|
| Don’t you ever say die… Oh!
|
| Oooh never say die
|
| Oooh never say die — Just stand there, baby!
|
| Oooh never say die — Oh, never say, never say die…
|
| Oooh never say die… |
