Won't Die Out

No we won't die out.

We got too much style,

too much magic,

to give up on our lives

now.

No we won't shut up.

We got to fight to be see,

fight to be heard,

in this cruel and heartless

world.

No we won't back down.

We got to stand up,

got to rise up,

against who would push us

down.

No we won't die out.

We got too much to live for,

too much that we haven't accomplished,

to let someone who hates us make us

vanish.
