Steppenwolf - Do Or Die lyrics

Words and music by John Kay and Michael Wilk Got nothin' more to show ya, there ain't no more to say You know the mess we made, it just will not go away It's what we get for acting like a herd of sheep and swine It's time to pay the piper and we're running out of time We got to change the way we do the things we do And we need everyone aboard to make it through It's do or die, we got to turn the ship around It ain't no lie, we're 'bout to burn, we're about to drown It's do or die, we got to learn or we'll go down together There ain't no captain here to teach us how to steer There's just the crew, that's me and you There ain't no easy answer, there ain't no magic tricks It can't wait until tomorrow, you can't fix it in the mix Come join the rainbow warriors, help us fight this dirty war The enemy is everywhere, he's waitin' right behind your door We got to hold the line or go down in defeat Do what you can to help, take only what you need It's do or die, we got to turn the ship around It ain't no lie, we're 'bout to burn, we're 'bout to drown It's do or die, we got to learn or we'll go down together There'll be no Calvary to come and set us free There's just the sea and you and me © 1989 Black Leather Music, (BMI), Michael John Music, (BMI)
