We're Not Dead Yet
This town's been dying since the day I was born
The shops all boarded up, houses lying in ruin
We got our backs to the wall
We got to find a way to win
Time is running out, hunt is closing in
They're all lined up at the paradise for fools
Where they give you ten to 20
If you dare to break the rules
Take it to the streets, give your senator a call
We rip up all subways, tear down the golden walls
We're not dead yet, still alive
Though we've to struggle to survive
We got to take all we can get
Don't count us out, we're not dead yet
I got a gas hog in the garage I can't afford to drive
I'd like to take a taxi, but I can't afford the ride
There ain't a brand new hero riding to our aid
'Cause just like all the rest, he's been lowered in his grave
A lot of people here just kiss their lives goodbye
They just sit back and take it
Never stop to wonder why
They're staring at their TV sets
That's where they're coming from
For them the fight is over
Ours is yet to come
We're not dead yet, still alive
Though we've to struggle to survive
We got to take all we can get
Don't count us out, we're not dead yet
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We're not dead yet, still alive
Though we've to struggle to survive
We got to take all we can get
Don't count us out, we're not dead yet
We're not dead yet, still alive
Though we've to struggle to survive
We got to take all we can get
Don't count us out, we're not dead yet
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
The shops all boarded up, houses lying in ruin
We got our backs to the wall
We got to find a way to win
Time is running out, hunt is closing in
They're all lined up at the paradise for fools
Where they give you ten to 20
If you dare to break the rules
Take it to the streets, give your senator a call
We rip up all subways, tear down the golden walls
We're not dead yet, still alive
Though we've to struggle to survive
We got to take all we can get
Don't count us out, we're not dead yet
I got a gas hog in the garage I can't afford to drive
I'd like to take a taxi, but I can't afford the ride
There ain't a brand new hero riding to our aid
'Cause just like all the rest, he's been lowered in his grave
A lot of people here just kiss their lives goodbye
They just sit back and take it

That's where they're coming from

Ours is yet to come
We're not dead yet, still alive
Though we've to struggle to survive
We got to take all we can get
Don't count us out, we're not dead yet
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We're not dead yet, still alive
Though we've to struggle to survive
We got to take all we can get
Don't count us out, we're not dead yet
We're not dead yet, still alive
Though we've to struggle to survive
We got to take all we can get
Don't count us out, we're not dead yet
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
