Left For Death (Tipton Glenn)

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 [Written and Arranged Glenn Tipton (c 1996 EMI Songs Ltd., ASCAP)]
