Glenn Tipton - Left For Death lyrics

rate me

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
