[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 (Won't be) E-M-P-I-R-E [Verse 2] We're coming on fast And we're built to last We stumbled once in 'Nam, now we're glad to finally say those days have passed Tell me, how long can it last? [Chorus] 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 (Won't be) E-M-P-I-R-E [Bridge] We just started out You don't need to be afraid Yeah, you deserve two minutes' hate [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Well, we spit and we cursed And our bleeding hearts burst But even ten million souls marching in February couldn't stop the worst C-c-c-couldn't reverse [Chorus] 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 (Won't be) E-M-P-I-R-E [Outro] Can't give (Won't be E-M-P-I-R-E) Don't wanna live (Can't live) Don't wanna live (Can't give) Don't wanna be (Won't be E-M-P-I-R-E) I can't live if living is with you (E-M-P-I-R-E) Can't give (Won't be E-M-P-I-R-E) Don't wanna live (Can't live) Don't wanna live (Can't give) Don't wanna be (Won't be E-M-P-I-R-E)
