With broken bones, I stand up tall to get away If I leave, you know there will be hell to pay With blood, if I start fighting WIth rage, it's hot, it's lightning This wasn't what I chose This choice was made for me And here I am Yes, here I am Don't you want me to fight? Don't you want me to cry? Don't you want me to kneel? What do you want me to do? But I will not No, I will not yield Don't you want me to fight? Don't you want me to cry? Don't you want me to kneel? What do you want me to do? But I will not No, I will not back I curl across this room with knuckles bent to bone My mind is set, I will not speak, I will not groan The flip-flop from my head, I'm feeling close to death This wasn't what I chose This choice was made for me And here I am Yes, here I am Don't you want me to fight? Don't you want me to cry? Don't you want me to kneel? What do you want me to do? But I will not No, I will not yield Don't you want me to fight? Don't you want me to cry? Don't you want me to kneel? What do you want me to do? But I will not No, I will not back Don't you want me to fight? Don't you want me to cry? Don't you want me to kneel? What do you want me to do? But I will not No, I will not yield Don't you want me to fight? Don't you want me to cry? Don't you want me to kneel? What do you want me to do? But I will not No, I will not stand Don't you want me to fight? Don't you want me to cry? Don't you want me to kneel? What do you want me to do? But I will not No, I will not yield Don't you want me to fight? Don't you want me to cry? Don't you want me to kneel? What do you want me to do? But I will not No, I will not back
