I Will Not Go Quietly (The End The Innocence 1989)
Woke up with a heavy head And I thought about leavin' town I could have died if I wanted to Slipped over the edge and drowned But, oh no baby, I won't give up that easy, no
Too many tire tracks in the sands of time Too many love affairs that stop on a dime Oh well, oh baby I think it's time to make some changes 'round here
Yeah, I'm gonna tear it up Gonna trash it up I'm gonna round it up Gonna shake it up Oh, no, baby, I will not lie down
I'm brave enough to be crazy I'm strong enough to be weak I see all these heroes with feet of clay Whose mighty ships have sprung a leak And I want you to tell me darlin' Just what do you believe in now?
Well, c'mon over here baby You 'bout to gimme a heart attack I want to wrap my lovin' arms Around the small of your back Yeah, and I'm gonna pull you, pull you, pull you Pull you right up close to me, yeah
Yeah we're gonna tear it up We gonna trash it up Gonna round it up Gonna shake it up Oh, no no no, I will not lie down
Turn this thing around I will not go quietly I will not lie down I will not go quietly I will not lie down I will not go quietly I will not lie down No, I will not lie down, no
Well, don't you ever get lonely? Don't you ever get down? Don't you ever get tired of all the wicked tongues in this town? Uh baby, I just want to take you away from here
I ain't no tiger I ain't no little lamb Suppose you tell me mama Who do you think I think I am? And ooh baby, don't you give a damn?
Yeah, I'm gonna tear it up Gonna trash it up Gonna round it up Gonna sake it up Uh baby, I will not lie down
Turn this thing around I will not go quietly I will not lie down I will no go quietly I will not lie down I will no go quietly I will not lie down No, I will not lie down
