lyrics

So you say, it's time to move on
That I've had my fun, that my day is done
Well I, well I won't give up
No I won't give in, to your silly rules
And who? Who the heck are you?
To tell me what, what to do
Well I, well I won't give up
When there's room enough, room enough for all

Staring down the alley of pain and depression
Friends all around me dropping down like flies
Watching bad telly, and getting out of shape now
Well if you think that's me, you're in for a big surprise

Well I, well I won't back down
You can't cancel me, cut me down to size
It's time, to stoke the fire
Let the passion burn, light up the sky
The game's not over yet
'Cause I still got, well I still got something to give
You can't box me in!

So you're telling us it's time to turn the page now
And you're telling us that our time is through
Well some of us, we got a choice to make now
None of us are ever gonna bow to you

Well I, I won't back down
Gonna crank it up, gonna let it fly
It's time, to stoke the fire
Let the passion burn, light up the sky
The game's not over yet
'Cause I still got, well I still got something to give
You can't box me in!
