[Verse 1]
The hangman's noose won't get me
Gas chambers never stress me
They can line me up against the wall
No firing squad will make me
Confess or even break me
I'll stand alone or not at all
[Chorus]
I will not obey
I will not betray
I will not give in
Not while I'm living
No surrender
We never will surrender
We are all dead meat
Cut us, watch us bleed
[Verse 2]
No shackles made will chain me
No endless pain will change me
The scars will testify this all
No solitary confinement
Will break my strong resignment
I'll die before I will conform
[Chorus]
I will not obey
I will not betray
I will not give in
Not while I'm living
No surrender
We never will surrender
We are all dead meat
Cut us, watch us bleed
[Bridge]
Read in my obituary
Defiance breeds victory
[Verse 3]
No cage they make can hold me
No law enforced controls me
No trap that's sprung stops me for long
No prison cell contains me
No snare they set will claim me
Relentlessly I'll fight them all
[Chorus]
I will not obey
I will not betray
I will not give in
Not while I'm living
No surrender
We never will be driven asunder
No surrender
We never will raise the white flag
We are all dead meat
Cut us, watch us bleed
We are all dead meat
Cut us, watch us bleed
[Verse 4]
Indoctrination
Will never suppress me
They're seriously mistaken
'Cause I'll take them down with me
And just before they're finished
They'll scream along with me
We are all dead meat
