G
You can live your life of ease
If you obey the hierarchy
C
I never could see, I never knew why
G
I shouldn't stand and speak my mind
You keep your mouth shut and you're okay
You get to live through one more day
C
But I had to say this
And I had to say that
G
And they stuck a knife right in my back
D
Closed the lid to bury me
C
But while there's still a breath of life in me
G
Left me for dead
C
But there's no way that I
G
Will ever give in
I will survive
G
Traitors prosper, rebels die
And then they say he was no friend of mine
C
Oh, I never say no when I want to say yes
G
I never go along and vote for the obvious
Just because of my
Point of view
My expiry date's long overdue
C
Oh you never can tell what's going on in their minds
G
They write your death warrant
But return your smile
D
While there's still a breath in me
C
I will not lie down
They won't get me
(Chorus)
G D F G D G
.........I will survive!
(Solo section; just strum G chords throughout)
D
While there's still a breath in me
C
I won't lie down
They won't get me
