Dignity Lyrics

So society just can't let us be
Please don't be ashamed, we are not to blame
The future's ours to take, we will make mistakes
Scream this loud and proud, we will not back down!

So let's go and relieve some pressure
Anarchy can only make it better
We can't, we won't surrender
(We can't, we won't surrender)
We're not scared cause' we like the danger
Reality will only make it stronger
We can't, we won't surrender
(We can't, we won't surrender)

Don't tell me where I will lay in your cemetery
Don't try to silence and bury me
Don't push me cause I won't go quietly
I'd rather die with dignity

Let them put us down, hope we're not around
They pray we go away, but we're here to stay
Time is on our side, our two worlds collide
These four words might help, just go fuck yourself!

So lets go and relieve the pressure
Anarchy can only make it better
We can't, we won't surrender
(We can't, we won't surrender)
We're not scared cause' we like the danger
Reality will only make it stronger
We can't, we won't surrender
(We can't, we won't surrender)

Don't tell me where I will lay in your cemetery
Don't try to silence and bury me
Don't push me cause I won't go quietly
I'd rather die with dignity

Don't tell me where I will lay in your cemetery
Don't try to silence and bury me
Don't push me cause I won't go quietly
I'd rather die with dignity

"Anarchy will only make it better" is the line i believe.

I believe this is about somebody dying of old age, and he wants to die as he lived. Living life; and that is what gives him his dignity.

your ? is "And a kick can only make it better"

chorus should be: "So tell me, where are we laying your cemetery"

Lyric Correction

To me this seems like an anthem for the underdog or minority, anybody who stands for something other than the accepted norm. The lines about anarchy and dying with dignity seem to imply that the intended meaning is something more specific, but I'm not sure exactly what that something would be.

Also, two corrections to the lyrics that I copied from the album booklet.

the bridge: "So let's go and relieve some pressure Anarchy can only make it better"

and the chorus: "Don't tell me where I will lay in your cemetery Don't try to silence and bury me Don't push me cause I won't go quietly I'd rather die with dignity"

I agree with LRonaldHubbs. I would say it's more about being the youth and our generation. We all have something to stand for, and we seem to be shunned when we rise up. The world seems to look down on "kids" and our way of life. Times change, and "the future's ours to take."

Lyrics were pretty much dead on. Only a couple fixes.

I think this relates to the civil rights movements.

honestly it sounds more like "So lets go and release the pressure", and makes more sense, but i dont have the album booklet...im just saying what i think, though i know its not true
