Lyrics

Not Today

Well the strain that I’m under…

Is the price that I pay

I can still bring the thunder…

Still got something to say

There were times that I thought I was done for

Should I lie? Should I cry? Should I pray?

But I ain’t gonna beg for you no more

Move the world out my way

Not Today (Not Today)

Not that way

Feel the strain that I’m under

Yeah…

I still got the fire in my eyes

Come what may (Come what may)

Price I pay

Chains are dragging me under

Yeah…

Not Today

Not that way

Well the strain that I’m under

Takes its toll everyday

But one way or another

I’ll blow the nightmares away

Understand that I’ll get what I came for

I got nothing to lose anyway

Sick and tired of the strain that I’m under

Move the world out the way

Not Today (Not Today)

Not Today (Not Today)

Not Today (Not Today)

Not Today (Not Today)

I’ve still got the fire in my eyes

I’ve still got the heart to go on

On and on…

I’ll smile through the trial

I’ll go mile after mile after mile

If that’s what it takes till it’s gone…

Long long gone

Not Today

Not Today (Not Today)

Not that way

Feel the strain that I’m under

Yeah…

I still got the fire in my eyes

Come what may (Come what may)

Price I pay

Chains are dragging me under

Yeah…

Not Today

Not that way

Not Today

Not Today

Not Today

Not Today
