They Shall Not Pass by The Ex (Punk Band) Lyrics

Just because we are human
We don't like guns against our head
We want no servants underfoot

And no bosses overhead
So take the course of left and back it
At the crooked system, whack it
There's a cause to get excited
Whatever is wrong let's right it

We reds are the color of blood
Our only crime is wanting to be free
The enemy's the color of puss
The fascists in front of you and me
The hordes of puss in front of us
While you and me, of course we're free
But can't you hear their contempuous laugh
They want us free as air... to starve

Clenched our fist, set our hearts
Even with our backs against the wall
We give our word: they shall not pass
There are things that have to be said
Combat the violence that's on the increase
Freedom calls, now or never
Better live on your feet than die on your knees
There is no going back
Even with our backs against the wall
Clenched our fist, set our hearts
There are things that have to be said
We give our word: they shall not pass
Freedom calls, now or never
Combat the violence that's on the increase
There is no going back
Better live on your feet than die on your knees
Even with our backs against the wall
There are things that have to be said
Freedom calls, now or never
There is no going back
Clenched our fist, set our hearts
We give our word: they shall not pass
Combat the violence that's on the increase
Better live on your feet than die on your knees

Don't die on your knees
Live on your feet
Don't die on your knees
Live on your feet
Don't die on your knees
Live on your feet
For no one is a slave
For no one is a slave
For no one is a slave
For no one is a slave
