You can bury me alive
You can throw away your shovel
No matter how you try
I will rise up from the rubble

Never put me down, keep me on the ground
Never gonna fade away
One step ahead of being stone cold dead
I'll do whatever it takes
And I'm never gonna hit the brakes

You can bury me alive
You can throw away your shovel
No matter how you try
I will rise up from the rubble

I ain't here to start no fight
But if I finish you're in trouble
You can knock me down to size
But I will rise up from the rubble

Always been runnin' round
One foot off the ground
Catch me now if you can
Couple of times been stuck
Put my numbers up
Sinking down in the quicksand
But I crawl back out again

You can bury me alive
You can throw away your shovel
No matter how you try
I will rise up from the rubble

I ain't here to start no fight
But if I finish you're in trouble
You can knock me down to size
But I will rise up from the rubble

Oh yeah!

You can bury me alive
You can throw away your shovel
No matter how you try
I will rise up from the rubble

You can put me in your sights
But I'm gonna burst your bubble
In one blink of an eye
I will rise up from the rubble

I will rise up from the rubble
I will rise up from the rubble
I will rise up from the rubble!
