The nice closer from Glenn's solo album.
Here's the little banjo melody which can
be heard in the beginning and end of the song.

[G]You can live your life of ease
If you obey the hierarchy
I n[C]ever could see, I never knew why
[G]I shouldn't stand and speak my mind
You keep your mouth shut and you're okay
You get to live through one more day
But I [C]had to say this
And I had to say that
And they [G]stuck a knife right in my back
[D]Closed the lid to bury me
But [C]while there's still a breath of life in me
[G]Left me for dead
But there's no way that[C] I
Will ever give[G] in
I will survive
[G]Traitors prosper, rebels die
And then they say he was no friend of mine
Oh, I[C] never say no when I want to say yes
[G]I never go along and vote for the obvious
Just because of my
Point of view
My expiry date's long overdue
Oh you [C]never can tell what's going on in their minds
They write your d[G]eath warrant
But return your smile
[D]While there's still a breath in me
I w[C]ill not lie down
They won't get me
(Chorus)
[G]..[D]..[F].....I [G]will [D]sur[G]vive!
(Solo section; just strum G chords throughout)
[D]While there's still a breath in me
I w[C]on't lie down
They won't get me
(Repeat chorus till the end)
Have fun!
