As Long As She's Standing Songtext
von Sick of It All

We won′t let our spirit break
(Long as she's standing)
Even though our nerves are frayed
(We won′t give up the ghost)
Keeping on through thick and thin
(Long as she's standing)
We have something on which to cling
(We won't give up the ghost)

We were born to suffer for posterity
Not for god or country (for family)
We did what we had to, so remember
We went down a path that no one chose


We′ll keep trying to believe
(Long as she′s standing)
That there's good in humanity
(We won′t give up the ghost)
We'll continue to look for strength
(Long as she′s standing)
Even if we have none left
(We won't give up the ghost)

Digging out, not knowing what′s next
Digging in, put to the test
Standing strong, our beacon prevails
In the face of all this iron rain

Born into this chaos
(No reason or rhyme)
Born into this downward spiral
(Wrong place, wrong time)
Born into this hell-hole
(No reason or rhyme)
Irreplaceable lives cut short
(Wrong place, wrong time)
