Carry On - Memphis May Fire

Tug of war, back and forth

All regard goes out the door

Set your sights on goals and awards

Become obsessed and watch succes unfold

Decrease the morals, increase the funds

Don’t be too preachy if you want to be loved

Forget conviction, just have some fun

Mindless words can take you to number one

Say I’m selfish, say I’m changed

Say I abandoned what I set out to be

Say I’m different now, say I’m lost

But I’ll stay true no matter what the cost

I’ll stand and fight for what I love and know is right

I’ll carry on, I’ll carry on

Until my days are gone

You can try to turn me into something I am not

But I’ll stay strong.

I’ll carry on

Until my days are gone

Careful what you say

They don’t need to know what you believe

God forbid, I stand for something

God forbid, I stand alone

God forbid, I tell my story

God forbid, it offers hope

Sell your soul for platinum

Deny the truth for gold

You can be the next big thing

If you turn your back on what you know

I’ll stand and fight for what I love and know is right

I’ll carry on, I’ll carry on

Until my days are gone

You can try to turn me into something I am not

But I’ll stay strong.

I’ll carry on

Until my days are gone

I will never be like you

I’m not a puppet on a string

I’m not one of your machines

I’m not doing this for you

I’m not doing this for me

It’s bigger than what you choose to see

I’ll stand and fight for what I love and know is right

I will carry on

Until my days are gone

They try to turn me into something I am not

But I will carry on, I will carry on

Until my days are gone
