Carry on Songtext

von Memphis May Fire

Tug of war, back & forth.
All regard goes out the door.
Set your sights on goals & awards.
Become obsessed & watch success unfold. Decrease the morals, increase the funds.
Don't be too preachy if you want to be loved. Forget conviction, just have some fun.
Mindless words can take you to #1.
Say i'm selfish.
Say i've changed.
Say I abandoned what I set out to be.
Say i'm different now.
Say i'm lost but i'll stay true no matter what the cost.
I'll stand & fight for what I love & know is right. I'll carry on.
I'll carry on until my days are gone.
You can try to turn me into something I am not but I'll stay strong.
I'll carry on until my days are gone.
Careful what you say.
They don't need to know what you believe.
God forbid I stand for something.
God forbid I stand alone.
God forbid I tell my story.
God forbid it offers hope.
Sell your soul for platinum.
Deny the truth for gold.
You can be the next big thing if you turn your back on what you know.
I'll stand & fight for what I love & know is right. I'll carry on.
I'll carry on until my days are gone.
You can try to turn me into something I am not but I'll stay strong.
I'll carry on until my days are gone.
I will never be like you.
I'm not a puppet on a string.
I'm not one of your machines.
I'm not doing this for you.
I'm not doing this for me.
It's bigger than what you choose to see.
I'll stand & fight for what I love & know is right. I will carry on until days are gone.
They try to turn me into something I am not but I will carry on.
I will carry on until my days are gone!
