Die Standing

The clock struck midnight on my life, they tried to tell me how Said "Follow rules, avoid the strife," but I ain't listening now I burned the papers, cut the wire, escaped the concrete cage Fueled by a freedom, pure desire, turning a brand new page They threw their shadows on my path, they said I'd surely fall But their opinion only fuels my wrath, and now I'm ANSWERING THE CALL! The engine's heat is in my blood, the throttle's open wide Escaping the flood, misunderstood, with nowhere left to hide! I'M A REBEL! (REBEL!) NEVER BACK DOWN! (NEVER!) Driving my CHOPPER IN THE SUNSET, outta this town! BETTER TO DIE STANDING (DIE STANDING!) Than live my life on my knees! (ON YOUR KNEES!) I'll take the risk, I'll pay the cost, for the SWEET TASTE OF EASE! Yeah! Taste the freedom! I see the dust clouds in the mirror, of every rule I broke The road ahead is getting clearer, shedding the heavy yoke Every mile is a statement made, a testament to steel No detour planned, no game played, this is how freedom feels They threw their shadows on my path, they said I'd surely fall But their opinion only fuels my wrath, and now I'm ANSWERING THE CALL! The engine's heat is in my blood, the throttle's open wide Escaping the flood, misunderstood, with nowhere left to hide! I'M A REBEL! (REBEL!) NEVER BACK DOWN! (NEVER!) Driving my CHOPPER IN THE SUNSET, outta this town! BETTER TO DIE STANDING (DIE STANDING!) Than live my life on my knees! (ON YOUR KNEES!) I'll take the risk, I'll pay the cost, for the SWEET TASTE OF EASE! They want your soul, they want your spine, they want you to obey But this road, brother, it's MINE, and I'm riding out today! (Backing Vocals: Die Standing! Die Standing!) I'M A REBEL! (I'M A REBEL!) NEVER BACK DOWN! (NO, NEVER!) Driving my CHOPPER IN THE SUNSET, outta this town! BETTER TO DIE STANDING (BETTER TO DIE!) Than live my life on my knees! (LIVE ON YOUR KNEES!) I'll take the risk, I'll pay the cost, for the SWEET TASTE OF EASE! Sunset's mine!
