Iron City Houserockers - We're Not Dead Yet Lyrics

THIS TOWN'S BEEN DYING SINCE THE DAY I WAS BORN
SHOPS ALL BOARDED UP AND HOUSES LYING IN RUIN
WE GOT OUR BACKS TO THE WALL GOT TO FIND A WAY TO WIN
THEY'RE ALL LINED UP AT THE PARADISE FOR FOOLS
WHERE THEY GIVE YOU TEN TO TWENTY
IF YOU DARE TO BREAK THE RULES
TAKE IT TO THE STREETS GIVE YOUR SENATOR A CALL
RIP UP ALL THE SUBWAYS TEAR DOWN THE GOLDEN WALLS

WE'RE NOT DEAD YET
WE'RE STILL ALIVE
EVEN WE HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE
WE GOT TO TAKE ALL WE CAN GET
DON'T COUNT US OUT
WE'RE NOT DEAD YET

I GOT A GAS HOG IN THE GARAGE I CAN'T AFFORD TO DRIVE
I'D LIKE TO TAKE A TAXI BUT I CAN'T AFFORD THE RIDE
THERE AIN'T A BRAND NEW HERO RIDING TO OUR AID
CAUSE JUST LIKE ALL THE REST
HE'S BEEN LOWERED IN HIS GRAVE
A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE JUST KISS THEIR LIVES GOODBYE
THEY JUST SIT BACK AND TAKE IT
NEVER STOP TO WONDER WHY
THEY'RE STARIN AT THEIR TV SETS
THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM
FOR THEM THE FIGHT IS OVER
OUR IS YET TO COME

WE'RE NOT DEAD YET
WE'RE STILL ALIVE
EVEN WE HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE
WE GOT TO TAKE ALL WE CAN GET
DON'T COUNT US OUT
WE'RE NOT DEAD YET
