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
(Won't 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
(Can't live)
Don't wanna live
(Can't give)
Don't wanna be
(Won't be)
E-M-P-I-R-E

We just started out
ย
You don't need to be afraid
Yeah you deserve to be attained
ย
Well, we spit and we're cursed
And our breathing hearts burst
But even ten million souls
Marching in February couldn't stop the worst,
Couldn't reverse
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
(Can't live)
(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 it isn't with you
(E-M-P-I-R-E)
(Can't live)
(Won't be)
(E-M-P-I-R-E)

Don't wanna live
Don't wanna give
Don't wanna be
