Before the Flame Dies - Cock Sparrer

People say that life ain’t fair

And then they say what you give comes round the same

What can you believe?

I say if you want passion in your life

You can’t be afraid of pain

You’ve got to get out and live

Coz freedom’s a curse but boredom’s even worse

There’s a spirit inside that needs to fly

Oi, Oi, Oi is the call

Oi, Oi, Oi, do it all

Oi, Oi, Oi before the flame dies

Don’t give in, don’t compromise

That’s what I’m told by everyone I know

Don’t sit on the fence

While others say just take your time, don’t rock the boat

Keep moving with the flow

It’s just not making sense

Coz life is all you’ve got

It’s worth another shot

Stand or fall, but give it one more try

You can crawl on your belly for a lifetime

Never reaching for the sky

Just knocking at the door

Or stand up for an hour, all guns blazing

Let 'em know you’d rather die

Than take it anymore

When all around is going wrong

And nothing seems to fall right into place

Remember every word

Don’t believe everything that’s said

You must believe there’s just too much to waste

Be sure you’re always heard

Coz freedom’s a curse but boredom’s even worse

There’s a spirit inside that needs to fly
