|
Look at the front page, turn on the tv
|
They fire another round at you and me
|
Their guns are loaded, they're taking aim
|
Nobody told them we're not all the same
|
No paranoia, nobody could
|
Just write it off as being Hollywood
|
The innuendo between the lines
|
Leaves no confusion 'bout what's on their minds
|
|
(Chorus)
|
I won't go underground
|
I won't turn and flee
|
I won't bow the knee
|
I won't go underground
|
I won't turn and hide from the rising tide
|
I won't go underground
|
I won't compromise what the world denies
|
I won't go underground
|
And I'm not ashamed of the cross I've claimed
|
|
They're taking notes on what we say
|
You know they'd like to lock us all away
|
Can't stop the movement, can't make it slow
|
Persecution always makes us grow
|
They got my number, it's no surprise
|
I'm here and wearing no disguise
|
Bring on the lions and heat up the fire
|
It's not enough to stop this man's desire
|
|
(2nd Chorus)
|
I won't go underground
|
I won't turn and flee
|
I won't bow the knee
|
I won't go underground
|
I keep holding fast till the very last
|
I won't go underground
|
I will turn my cheek, I will boldly speak
|
I won't go underground
|
I am not ashamed of the cross I've claimed
|
|
I know the Spirit behind this force
|
It's not surprising if you know the source
|
I pray for freedom for helpless ones
|
And I keep standing till the new day dawns
|
|
And I won't lay low as the hatreds grow
|
