You must listen to this story

Give yourself no head start

Don't be a knight in armour

There is no dress rehearsal
There's no easy lesson learned
Better to be breathing fire

Dedicate it to your own

If you gonna fight like lion
Someone ought get murdered off

Fire fall upon us
And lighting shall strike the Earth
For you to reach salvation
G Cm

When there are great expectation
There is no one else to blame

You can either shoot for freedom
G Cm
Or you drag a ball and chain
[Chorus x2]
