歌词
I will not go down under the ground
我不会寿终正寝
'Cause somebody tells me that death's comin' 'round
因为有人告诉我死亡已在身边
And I will not carry myself down to die

When I go to my grave my head will be high
在装进棺穴的时候,我的头要高高昂起
Let me die in my footsteps
让我死在自己的足迹里
Mm before I go down under the ground
在我寿终正寝之前
There's been rumors of war and wars that have been
战争的流言和战争的开始
The meaning of life has been lost in the wind

'Stead of learning to live they are learning to die

Let me die in my footsteps
让我死在自己的足迹里
Mm before I go down under the ground
在我寿终正寝之前
I don't know if I'm smart but I think I can see

When someone is pulling the wool over me

Where the mountain streams flood
