Dernier refrain :
I know
that the su nset em pire shudde rs and sha kes
and I know
th ere's a flood gate and a r aging ri ver
I say
see the silence of the ribbon s of iro n and st eel
and I say
hear the punch drunk buddl e as they dri ve on a ham mer and wheel
sometimes you're beaten to the ca ll sometime s
sometimes you're take n to the wall
but you don't give in
sometimes you're beaten to the ca ll sometim es
sometimes you're take n to the wall
and you don't give in
I know
that the canni bals wear smart sui ts and t ies
I know
they arm-wrestle o n the al tar
I say
don't leave your hea rt i n a hard p lace
sometimes you're beaten to the ca ll sometim es
sometimes you're take n to the wall
and you don't give in
sometimes you're beaten to the ca ll sometime s
sometimes your take n to the wall
but you don't give in

Pendant le refrain
sometimes you're beaten to the ca ll sometim es
sometimes you're take n to the wall

sometimes you're shaken to the co re sometime s
sometimes your face i s gonna fall

...but you don't give in
