We gotta live to fight another day
Live to fight another day

Right out of the gate, they punch me in the face
They drag me all around and tell me, "What a waste"
The zeitgeist diet drive, ain't what I wanna hear
But I ain't gonna stop, so let me hear you cheer

Mayday, mayday
Turn around and crazy
Mayday, mayday
This ain't what you wanna hear

I heard they're callin' at your number and it's comin' up fast
You got fifteen minutes, but it ain't gonna last

Hey, won't you come out and play
I'm gonna rain on your parade
I'm gonna rain on your parade
Hey, what do you say?
I'm gonna rain on your parade
I got a thousand different ways
To live to fight another day
Live to fight another day

This is what you get for breaking protocol
Oh, wait, that's not a thing 'cause I don't trust you all
You're pulling at my strings, but I ain't gonna snap
You push me to the edge, but I keep coming back

Mayday, mayday
Turn around and crazy
Mayday, mayday
This ain't what you wanna hear

Hey, won't you come out and play
I'm gonna rain on your parade
I'm gonna rain on your parade
Hey, what do you say?
I'm gonna rain on your parade
I got a thousand different ways
To live to fight another day
Live to fight another day

I heard they're callin' at your number and it's comin' up fast
You got fifteen minutes and I hope it's a blast

Hey, won't you come out and play
(So long, see you later, good night, never liked you but you put up a fight)
I'm gonna rain on your parade
I'm gonna rain on your parade
Hey, what do you say?
(So long, see you later, be well, never mind I guess I'll see you in Hell)
I'm gonna rain on your parade
(I guess I'll see you in Hell)
I got a thousand different ways
(I guess I'll see you in Hell)
To live to fight another day
Live to fight another day
