I Will Not Go Quietly (Duffy's Song)

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 will not go quietly

I will not accept your rules

gonna live with myself

before I live with any of you

I will not go quietly

I will not behave myself

It's not for sake of fighting

It's not for you or anyone else

and I was the best, you all knew it

on the days I cared at all

you can all say I blew it, you'll be talking bout me for years

I was my own man

can ya'll say that?

I was my own man

can ya'll say that?

I was my own man, yeah I was the shit.

I don't believe in Bondi,

don't believe in rugby league

I believe in Yoko, John Lennon, last weekend and me

Well I was the best you all knew it,

on the days I cared at all

now you can all say I blew it, you'll be talking bout me for years

I was my own man

can ya'll say that?

I was my own man

can ya'll say that?

I was my own man, yeah I was the shit.

I will not go quietly

I will not go quietly

I will not accept your rules

I don't believe in Bondi

Don't believe in rugby league

I will not go quietly (repeat till fade)
