lyrics
i had a dream that the stars ran away for a tryst with the blue-black of night
hid from the moon and half-blinded the sun
built a new way to be on the run
i had a dream that the stars were aligned so straight you could only see one
our fates were all written by princes and law
and bought sold and traded at the point of a gun
and we won't lay down and die
we'll live to fight another day, die another day
we waited to long for the stamp and a word to tell us to take in a breath
we sat along side while you cut off our limbs to build up a world you called "good"
we laid down the weapons you deemed were unjust while kangaroo courts built the home you built with our money, and you tore up the roads you broke all our backs to lay down
and we won't wait for the start of a war
we'll kill and save who we see
who we see fit
stick to your lies and be loyal to one thing
we'll stick to our guns and be strong as a wild bird's wing
oh you won't save up for the cost of a precious thing
but we won't give up for our children, god, or anything
and we won't lay down and die
we'll kill and save
oh, we won't wait for the start of a war
we'll live to fight another day, die another day
die another day
