Hang down your head, there's nothing that remains After you're dead you don't even keep your name You've convinced yourself the book is never wrong But what you'll find out will shake you to the bone I saw no fire in your street, Only the stones you've thrown at me Does it make you feel better? Well, you know we're all just sinners Why waste your time trying to save? You've got your foot half in the grave You're just a soapbox preacher Six feet and headed deeper Well, can't you see it's better to die on your feet than live down on your knees? Crowded heart and clouded mind You won't get what you seek But if you stop, you will find We're just drops lost in a sea I saw no fire in your street, Only the stones you've thrown at me Does it make you feel better? Well, you know we're all just sinners Why waste your time trying to save? You've got your foot half in the grave You're just a soapbox preacher Six feet and head in deeper Well, can't you see it's better to die on your feet than live down on your... Well, can't you see it's better to die on your feet than live down on your knees?
Why can't you see it's better to die on your feet than live down on your knees? All hell is booked up And heaven's got no vacancy I guess that this cruel world ain't got no place for me We're all stuck in the middle We're throwing our cash at books of cliches They say the cost is little It might work but not for me 'cause my soul Is not for sale Just be here now (I saw no fire in your streets Only the stones you've thrown at me) Cause my soul is not for sale (Does it make you feel better? Well, you know we're all just sinners) (I saw no fire in your street Only the stones you've thrown at me Does it make you feel better? Well, you know we're all just sinners) I saw no fire (I saw no fire) I saw no fire (I saw no fire) Well, can't you see it's better to die on your feet than live down on your... Well, can't you see it's better to die? I saw no fire I saw no fire I saw no fire I saw no fire I saw no fire (I saw no fire, I saw no fire)
