We strike first
And we're unrehearsed.
Here we go again, to stage the greatest show on heaven and earth.
Come on, get your money's worth.
Don't wanna live (can't live), don't wanna give (can't give),
Don't wanna be (won't be) E-M-P-I-R-E.
(Can't live) Don't wanna live (can't give).
Don't wanna be (won't be) E-M-P-I-R-E.
We're coming on fast
And we're built to last.
We stumbled once in Nam, now we're glad to finally say those days have passed.
Tell me, how long can it last?
Don't wanna live (can't live), don't wanna give (can't give),
Don't wanna be (won't be) E-M-P-I-R-E.
(Can't live) Don't wanna live (can't give).
Don't wanna be (won't be) E-M-P-I-R-E.
We just started out.
You don't need to be afraid.
Yeah, you deserve two minutes hate.
Well we spit and we cursed
And our bleeding hearts burst.
But even ten million souls marching in February couldn't stop the worst.
C-C-C-Couldn't reverse.
Don't wanna live (can't live), don't wanna give (can't give),
Don't wanna be (won't be) E-M-P-I-R-E.
(Can't live) Don't wanna live (can't give).
Don't wanna be (won't be) E-M-P-I-R-E.
(Can't live, can't give.)
(Won't be.)
Don't wanna live (can't live), don't wanna live (can't give),
Don't wanna be (won't be) E-M-P-I-R-E.
I can't live
If it isn't without you.
