Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No apologies
We will not back down
We are not afraid
Not a drop of doubt
[Verse 2]
Let's start this from the happy ending
Just another white trash train track kid
Fighting for survival
Trying not to do like his daddy did
Double down the devil at three card Monte
No apology, he just knew when to quit
[Verse 3]
Push your luck, say your prayers
Make believe you don't care
Take a chance, sometimes it's all you need
No apologies
[Verse 4]
No apologies
We will not back down
We are not afraid
Not a drop of doubt
Hand in hand, across this land
Our voices shouting out
No apologies
No apologies
[Verse 5]
You wanna start a personal revolution
Think you living somebody else's life
You can lie about retribution
But there ain't no fire in your lover's eyes
Seems like everybody's selling their dreams round here
But no one's buying and it's closing time
[Verse 6]
Light the fuse, make your breaks
There's no time left to waste
Baby, just like freedom, nothing's free
No apologies
[Verse 7]
No apologies
We will not back down
We are not afraid
Not a drop of doubt
Hand in hand, across this land
Our voices shouting out
No apologies
[Verse 8]
You wanna start a personal revolution
What else you gotta do tonight?
No apologies
[Verse 9]
No apologies
We will not back down
We are not afraid
Not a drop of doubt
Hand in hand, across this land
Our voices shouting out
No apologies
No apologies
No apologies
[Verse 10]
Hand in hand, across this land
Our voices shouting out
No apologies
