I'd Rather Die on My Feet Than Live on My Knees Songtext
von Andrew Lloyd Webber

I′d rather die on my feet than live on my knees
Death with honor!
Because the weak and the fearful are a social disease
I am stronger!

Insects crawl, a man stands tall
He has to risk it all
Men dictate their final fate
While fools negotiate


When the battle is over and the last deal is done
Let me tell you!
The man with the power will be the man with the gun
He can kill you!

You're naive if you believe
They′ll give you a reprieve
Close your eyes to compromise
Betrayal in disguise

I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees
Won't surrender!
Because I am my country and my country is me
I′ll defend her!
