don't take it laying down

there's a time for peace and love

there's a time to just survive

if i hadn't raised my head

you would have buried me alive

don't take it lying down

give them as good as they gave you

don't take it lying down

that turn the cheek stuff won't save you now

if i speak who's going to hear?

i'm drowned out with the tide

love to hear your point of view

could there be another side?

we can't pick without a choice

we can't drink without a well

when you though you'd stopped our voice

you woke the sleeping lion as well
