We let them tell us what to do

Why, why, why

We live to die for worthy things

Yeah, yeah, yeah

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

Yeah, yeah, yeah

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

Yeah, yeah, yeah

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
