Die Trying
Hey hey hey
Ohh whoa
Hey hey hey
All my life I’ve been told to think happy thoughts and things will be better
I’ve heard enough hanging there to make me wanna hang myself again
Sometimes I wanna skip the journey and just reach my destination
I know that failure’s an option, yeah, I’d rather Die Trying
Die, cause I’d rather die, I’d rather die trying, Die, yeah, I’d rather die.
Hey hey hey
Whoa ohh
Hey hey
Stop giving me those one-liners you’re sounding like a greeting card
Namaste doesn’t make my day sometimes it’s all just fucking hard
I’ve read the books so drop the looks
A pity for my soul
I’ll make it through on my own terms
Kicking as usual
Die, cause I’d rather Die Trying, Die cause I’d rather die trying
Ready, I’m ready
Calling all poets or beatniks or punks
The underground kids who don’t give a f*ck
About reputations or who they offend
The time has come for us to defend
The truth and reality so readily smashed
So masses can live in a state of forget
We need one another to conjure us all
That can’t be ignored, can’t be ignored
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey
For crying out loud get over yourself shit happens move on
For crying out loud get over yourself shit happens move on
For crying out loud get over yourselves
For crying out loud shit happens move on
Hey hey yeah, hey hey yeah
All my life I’ve been told to think happy thoughts and things would get better
