I'm just trying to live
I'm just trying to survive
And find the meaning, my purpose in life

And break free from all that has been
Holding me down from the goals I wish to achieve


I'm just trying to keep the message alive
I'm just trying to live
I'm just trying to survive


The influences that try to shape our minds
Our difference that they stress to make us fight

But we know better, all together singing...

Through my conviction I have remained free and clear

Through dedication to the values I hold, dear
To keep the message and the resistance alive


I'm just trying to live
I'm just trying to survive
And find the meaning, my purpose in life

And break free from all that has been
Holding me down from the goals I wish to achieve


I'm just trying to keep the message alive
I'm just trying to live
I'm just trying to survive

I'm just trying to live
I'm just trying to survive
I'm just trying to live

I'm just trying to survive
I'm just trying to live my $#&@ing life


The influences that try to shape our minds
The forces telling us how to live our lives
Won't be defeated, won't be denied by

By people telling us how to live our lives

The forces telling us how to live our lives

Just trying to live, trying to survive
The forces telling us how to live our lives
The forces telling us how to live our lives

Won't be defeated, won't be denied by
The people telling us how to live our lives


Can't slay the beast, at least we can change our minds
The only place for truth we'll ever find
Why can't they see that we are so mush more than meets the eye

Because what matters the most is what's inside
I'm just trying to live...
I'm just trying to survive
