“Better to die on
one's feet,
than to live on one's
knees.”
- Albert Camus
Get up on your feet.
Get up off your knees.
Stand up straight and tall.
You've got dignity after all.
D - G - :|| (4x)
Better
that you die on your feet,
then to live your life on your
knees. (2x)
F C / F G :||
You can say, “Yes'm.” You can
say, “Yes sir.”
You can bow your head and hide
away the hurt.
You can let them colonize your
mind.
If you give it up, they'll take
all of your time.
This world is yours and mine.
Let's stake our claim; it's about
time.
It's about time and stepping
back.
It's about finding our own path.
