Lyrics

Never Take Us Alive

Sometimes I feel like I'm from another world
And everything I want in life seems impossible
Cause people they'll tear you apart
But in the bottom of our hearts
The dream's alive inside
And we won't forget
So we say...

You can't bleed
Can't touch
Can't take us down
(We run this town!)
We stand, we'll fight, set fires all night

You'll never take us alive
Wa ooh-ooh...
Wa ooh-ooh...
You'll never take us alive
Wa ooh-ooh...
Wa ooh-ooh...
You'll never take us alive

For the last time I'll give myself to the enemy
By letting their words just walk all over me
Cause people they'll tear you apart
If you are not like them
And we are different

Let the war begin
So we say...
You can't bleed
Can't touch
Can't take us down
(We run this town!)
We stand, we'll fight, set fires all night

You'll never take us alive
Wa ooh-ooh...
Wa ooh-ooh...
You'll never take us alive
Wa ooh-ooh...
Wa ooh-ooh...
You'll never take us alive

There's no fear inside
This is our time, no giving up
When we connect our hearts, to our minds
There's no stopping us

So we say...
You can't bleed
Can't touch
Can't take us down
(We run this town!)
We stand, we'll fight, set fires all night

You'll never take us alive
Wa ooh-ooh...
Wa ooh-ooh...
You'll never take us alive
Wa ooh-ooh...
Wa ooh-ooh...
You'll never take us alive
