I choose death before dishonor I'd rather die than live down on my knees Bury me like a soldier, with my dignity! Bury me! (Bury me!) To the haters, the takers, the liars, all the vultures and the bottom feeding scum The FCC, the FBI and every tin god

But girl I'm so glad we're acquainted Baby you're no good To say that we're in love is dangerous I know I'd rather be complacent I got you touchin' on your body You got me puttin' time in, time in Nobody got me feeling this way You probably think I'm

I found peace in your violence Can't tell me there's no point in trying I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long I've been quiet for too long I'm at one, and I've been silent for too long Yeah, I'd rather be a lover than a fighter 'Cause all my life,
