Bad Religion - The Empire Strikes First Lyrics



Bad Religion - The Empire Strikes First Lyrics
Official




We strike first
And we're unrehearsed
Here we go again
To stage the greatest show on heaven and earth
Come on, get your money's worth

Don't want to live
(can't live)
Don't want to give
(can't give)
Don't want to be
(won't be)
E-M-P-I-R-E
Don't want to live
Don't want to be
E-M-P-I-R-E

We're comin' on fast
And we're built to last
We struggled once in 'Nam
Now we're glad to finally say
Those days have passed
Tell me how long can it last!

Don't want to live
(can't live)
Don't want to give
(can't give)
Don't want to be
(won't be)
E-M-P-I-R-E
Don't want to live
Don't want to be
E-M-P-I-R-E

We just started out
You don't need to be afraid
Yeah you deserve to be attained

And our breathing hearts burst
But even ten million souls
Marching in February couldn't stop the worst,
Couldn't reverse

Don't want to live
Don't want to give
Don't want to be
E-M-P-I-R-E
Don't want to live
Don't want to be
E-M-P-I-R-E

I can't live
If it isn't with you
