This song speaks about the social injustice nowadays and states that they (Our Last Night) won’t conform to the norms, but instead stand out – they won’t “bend the knee”, and will do things their way.
[Intro]
Woah, woah
I won't bend
I won't bend the knee
Woah, woah
I won't bend
I won't bend the knee
[Verse 1]
There's more of us than you think
Quicker than you can blink
Your most loyal will turn against you
[Pre-Chorus]
It's in the water we drink
Poison in the spring
But we'll take back all the power
[Chorus]
I won't bend the knee
I don't care who's coming after me
I won't bend the knee
I don't care who's coming after, coming after me
[Post-Chorus]
Woah, woah
I won't bend
I won't bend the knee
Woah, woah
I won't bend
I won't bend the knee
[Verse 2]
Your words will be used against
You and your only line of defense
Intimidate
Discriminate
But we will
Liberate
Remember your place
Just in case
You thought that we were afraid
[Pre-Chorus]
It's in the water we drink
Poison in the spring
But we'll take back all the power
[Chorus]
I won't bend the knee
I don't care who's coming after me
I won't bend the knee
I don't care who's coming after, coming after me
[Post-Chorus]
Woah, woah
I won't bend
I won't bend the knee
Woah, woah
I won't bend
I won't bend the knee
[Bridge]
Cower, attack
No one has your back
Rising against
But find there's nothing left
[Chorus]
I won't bend the knee
I don't care who's coming after me
I won't bend the knee
I don't care who's coming after, coming after me
[Post-Chorus]
Woah, woah
I won't bend
I won't bend the knee
Woah, woah
I won't bend
I won't bend the knee
