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 
(wont 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 
(cant live) 
don't wanna live 
(cant give) 
don't wanna be 
(wont be) 
E-M-P-I-R-E 

We just started out 
you don't need to be afraid 
yeah you deserve two minutes of 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, 
couldn't reverse 

don't wanna live 
don't wanna give 
don't wanna be 
E-M-P-I-R-E 
don't wanna live 
don't wanna 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 
Ben even ten million souls marching in February couldn't stop the worst 
Couldn't reverse.
