[Verse 1]
Won't take this lying down
I wanna shout it out
I'm sick of spinning on this not so merry-go-round
And every smile I fake
And every word I waste
I'm done with picking up the pieces that you choose to break
[Pre-Chorus]
Won't let it roll off
Won't let it fall away (Fall away)
I'll never let this go
I got a choice to make
[Chorus]
Today I'm Joan of Arc
The bullets bounce right off
And I'm starting a war (And I'm starting a war)
And when tomorrow comes
I'll scream it from my lungs
I never wanted this war (Never wanted this war)
I'm not gonna take it, I'm not gonna take it
You can't run away from the truth
All you created will only come back to haunt you
[Verse 2]
And did you realise
The shit I've sacrificed?
You underestimated me when you started this fight
'Cause when the fire's high
You know that I'll return
And come back stronger than that bitch that you tried to burn
[Pre-Chorus]
Won't let it roll off
Won't let it fall away (Fall away)
I'll never let this go
I got a choice to make
[Chorus]
Today I'm Joan of Arc
The bullets bounce right off
And I'm starting a war (And I'm starting a war)
And when tomorrow comes
I'll scream it from my lungs
I never wanted this war (Never wanted this war)
I'm not gonna take it, I'm not gonna take it
You can't run away from the truth
All you created will only come back to haunt you
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Today I'm Joan of Arc
The bullets bounce right off
And I'm starting a war (And I'm starting a war)
And when tomorrow comes
I'll scream it from my lungs
I never wanted this war (Never wanted this war)
I'm not gonna take it, I'm not gonna take it
You can't run away from the truth
All you created will only come back to haunt you
[Outro]
All you created will only come back to haunt you
