The Empire Strikes First Lyrics - The Empire Strikes First - Bad Religion

We strike first 

and we're unrehearsed 

here we go again 

to stage the greatest show on heaven and earth 

come on, get your money's worth 

don't wanna live 

(can't live) 

don't wanna give 

(can't give) 

don't wanna be 

(won't be) 

E-M-P-I-R-E 

(can't live) 

don't wanna live 

(can't give) 

don't wanna be 

(won't be) 

E-M-P-I-R-E

We're comin on fast 

and we're built to last 

we struggled once in 'Nam 

now we're glad to finally say 

those days have passed 

tell me how long can it last! 

don't wanna live 

(can't live) 

don't wanna give 

(can't give) 

don't wanna be 

(won't be) 

E-M-P-I-R-E 

(can't live) 

don't wanna live 

(can't give) 

don't wanna be 

(won't be) 

E-M-P-I-R-E

We just started out 

you don't need to be afraid 

yeah you deserve to be attained 

and our breathing hearts burst 

but even ten million souls 

marching in February couldn't stop the worst, 

couldn't reverse 

don't wanna live 

(can't live) 

don't wanna give 

(can't give) 

don't wanna be 

(won't be) 

E-M-P-I-R-E 

(can't live) 

don't wanna live 

(can't give) 

don't wanna be 

(won't be) 

E-M-P-I-R-E 

i can't live 

if it isn't with you 

We just started out 

You don't need to be afraid. 

Yeah you deserve two minutes hate. 

Well, we spit and we cursed and our bleeding hearts burst 

But even ten million souls marching in February couldn't stop the worst 

C-c-c-couldn't reverse.
