I got my shield i got my armor together
Please believe that i ain't scared, i am prepared for whatever
I ain't intimidated by you imitators of realness
You know who you are so if you ain't true should feel this
Now real quick let's talk about today's news
Educated fools trying to educate you
Trying to get some knowledge just to find your way through
But the truth is so skew/obscure it's just what they do
And some leanin', leanin' for weeks can say some
Others travel the world tour but they don't mean nothing
And ain't judging but the point is that
You can even make a stand lying on your back
Now could you please keep my souls intact
So years after i'm gone y'all can play this back
And in the time i smile from the sky
Knowing we will never die
They say we're lost they call us insane
They don't know what we're fighting for
But they don't know we're living in pain
We ain't gonna take it no more
We won't cry 'cause we're gonna fight
And we gonna fight and we won't die
And we won't cry 'cause we're gonna fight
And we won't die, and we won't die
And we won't die
All i wanna say is that they don't give a damn
Unless they need more bodies to send to afghanistan
Or iraq or maybe even iran
But not darfur; what for?
Helping blacks ain't the plan
We only go to war for the corporations
Oil companies and the halliburtons
Meanwhile they trample on the constitution
'cause politics is more like prostitution
Million dollar campaign contribution
I think it's 'bout time for a revolution
They manipulate our fears to cause confusion
The real enemy is this administration
Just look at their lack of concentration
On the problems with the health care and education
And long after my ekg goes flat line
I told in these rhymes i will never die
They say we're lost they call us insane
They don't know what we're fighting for
But they don't know we're living in pain
We ain't gonna take it no more
We won't cry 'cause we're gonna fight
And we gonna fight and we won't die
And we won't cry 'cause we're gonna fight
And we won't die, we won't die
And we won't die
See you could find us, ban us?, us
But we won't die we're like a couple highlanders
Immortals for the sci-fi illiterate
Found the youth in the booth
Can't get a sip of it
Band wagon filling up better get your ticket quick
Before the redland's deemed illegal by the government
Cause we're some rebels pretty much just for the fun of it
Living life righteous baby and i am loving it
What is it for? these words we record
Every note every chord made for you to absorb
So be sure on stage on tour
You can feel the fours only of course
If the song's right we light the night from the dark
Despite what we're called we fight for the cause
Recite to the stars what's rightfully ours
They'll never take from us, what to take from us?
They say we're lost they call us insane
They don't know what we're fighting for
But they don't know we're living in pain
We ain't gonna take it no more
We won't cry 'cause we're gonna fight
And we gonna fight and we won't die
And we won't cry 'cause we're gonna fight
And we won't die, and we won't die
And we won't die
