We let them tell us
what to do
Why why why
We live to die
for worthy things
Ya ya ya
We promised
we would never lose
our pride
Your word's worth
nothing if you lie
We're standing tall
and looking up
our Father
would be proud
And I'm happy
to be working
my own ground
We'll be the last ones
breathing here
Hey
sing your heart out boy
For all the people
great and small
Oh
when all else is lost
The future still
remains our own
We're taught
that we were born
to lose
Why why why
Don't waste your breath
it's time to choose
Ya ya ya
We promised
we would never lose
our pride
Everyday
they try to turn
it into lies
We're standing tall
and looking up
our Father
would be proud
And I'm happy
to be working
my own ground
I said hey
sing your heart out boy
For all the people
great and small
Oh
when all else is lost
The future still
remains our own
I hope I hope I hope
I hope I hope
I hope I hope I hope
I hope I hope
We let them tell us
what to do
Why why why
We live to die
for worthy things
Ya ya ya
No matter what they try
tearing up our lives
I know
we will always rise
I said hey
sing your heart out boy
For all the people
great and small
Oh
when all else is lost
The future still
remains our own
I hope I hope I hope
I hope I hope
I hope I hope I hope
The future still
remains our own
I hope I hope I hope
I hope I hope
I hope I hope I hope
I hope I hope I hope
