You can bury me alive,
You can throw away your shovel,
No matter how you try,
I will rise up from the rubble.
Never put me down,
Keep me on the ground,
Never gonna fade away,
One step ahead
Of being stone cold dead
I'll do whatever it takes,
And I'm never gonna hit the brakes.
You can bury me alive,
You can throw away your shovel,
No matter how you try
I will rise up from the rubble.
I ain't here to start no fight
But if I finish you're in trouble,
You can knock me down to size,
But I will rise up from the rubble.
Always been runnin' round
One foot off the ground
Catch me now if you can,
Couple of times been stuck,
Put my numbers up
Sinking down in the quicksand,
But I crawl back out again.
You can bury me alive,
You can throw away your shovel,
No matter how you try
I will rise up from the rubble.
I ain't here to start no fight
But if I finish you're in trouble,
You can knock me down to size
But I will rise up from the rubble.
Oh yeah!
You can bury me alive,
You can throw away your shovel,
No matter how you try
I will rise up from the rubble.
You can put me in your sights
But I'm gonna burst your bubble,
In one blink of an eye
I will rise up from the rubble.
I will rise up from the rubble,
I will rise up from the rubble,
I will rise up from the rubble!
