Lyrics
Death or Life We Want You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I want your body
I want your brains
I want your soul, brother
On a thirsty desert plain
Or the evening in the jungle
Face down in a lagoon
Or a tough fight with your best friends
If there's any room
Nobody wants you
But we want you (x4)
Body
Brains
Soul
Brother
Just when you think you've had enough
Here comes more death from up above
We can't go home 'til we know we're gonna win
We can't go home 'til we know we're gonna know
We're gonna know, we're gonna win, we're gonna win
Nobody wants you
But we want you
