Lieber Stehend Sterben

We're supposed to pay
for what's happening here
we carry the blame
for you, who rule
no one knows the truth
but you want to lecture us
your burden on our shoulders
that's just not what we like
'cause we're different
we're proud and stubborn
no one kills our will
so you must understand

I'd rather die standing
than live on my knees
rather endure a thousand pains
than give up once

I'd rather die standing
than live on my knees
rather endure a thousand pains
than give up once

Hands in front of the eyes
cotton in the ears
He'd rather keep his mouth shut
he's born as a follower
he says everything you say
he crawls on all fours
ever had a will
that's why he can't lose it
but we're different
we're proud and stubborn
no one kills our will
so you must understand

I'd rather die standing
than live on my knees
rather endure a thousand pains
than give up once

I'd rather die standing
than live on my knees
rather endure a thousand pains
than give up once

but I'm different
I fight for my right
I'd rather be your uncle than your servant
rather be your uncle...

I'd rather die standing
than live on my knees
rather endure a thousand pains
than give up once

I'd rather die standing
than live on my knees
rather endure a thousand pains
than give up once
