Left For Death Lyrics

Left For Death

You can live your life of ease 



If you obey the hierarchy 



I never could see, I never knew why 



I shouldn't stand and speak my mind 



You keep your mouth shut and your ok 



You get to live through one more day 



But I had to say this 



And I had to say that 



And they stuck a knife right in my back 



Closed the lid to bury me 



But while there's still 



A breath of life in me 



Left me for dead 



But there's no way that I 



Will ever give in 



I will survive 



Traitors prosper, rebels die 



And then they say 



He was no friend of mine 



Oh I never say no when I want to say yes 



I never go along and vote for the obvious 



Just because of my 



Point of view 



My expiry date's long overdue 



Oh you never can tell 



What's going on in their minds 



They write your death warrant 



But return your smile 



While there's still a breath in me 



I will not lie down 



They won't get me 



Left me for dead 



There's no way that I 



Will ever give in 



I will survive 



I will survive 



While there's still a breath in me 



I won't lie down 



They won't get me 



Left me for dead 



There's no way that I 



Will ever give in 



I will survive 



While there's still a breath in me 



I won't lie down 



They won't get me
