[Verse]

What's so hard to understand?

Which part did you not get?

What exactly floats your boat?

Who do you abet?

Clinging to the status quo

Dispute state of affairs

Instead of ringing in the change

Content with splitting hairs

[Pre-Chorus]

Better die on your feet than live on your knees

In the absence of justice there will be no peace

[Chorus]

Spit or swallow

Pretend or commit

Lead or follow

Ideal or unfit

Spit or swallow

Palace or pit

Legionnaire or

Hypocrite

[Verse]

Hide behind your pious words

Lament your desperate state

Do you believe in action

Or play victim to your fate?

[Pre-Chorus]

Better die on your feet than live on your knees

In the absence of justice there will be no peace

[Chorus]

Spit or swallow

Deny or admit

Lead or follow

Arise or quit

Spit or swallow

Rebel or submit

Try or die trying

Swallow or spit

[Break]

War is the rich man's terrorism

Terrorism is the poor man's war

War is the rich man's terrorism

Terrorism is the poor man's war

[Verse]

What am I supposed to make

Of people like you?

What you say is not enough

It's what you do

Cowardly bewailing

Too frightened to stand tall

Play the hand you have been dealt

You've got no balls at all

[Pre-Chorus]

Better die on your feet than live on your knees

In the absence of justice there will be no peace

[Chorus]

Spit or swallow (Spit or swallow)

Rebel or submit (Rebel or submit)

Lead or follow (Lead or follow)

Swallow or spit (Swallow or spit)

Spit or swallow

Drown in your blood (Drown in your blood)

Or live in your shit (Live in your shit)
