  • People going nowhere, taken for a ride
    Looking for the answers that they know inside
    Searching for a reason, looking for a rhyme
    Snow white parasite, partners in crime

    Don't they ever have to worry?
    Don't you ever wonder why?
    It's a part of me that tells you
    Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
    Never, never, never say die again

    Sunday satisfaction, madness on the rise
    Truth is on the doorstep, welcoming the lies
    All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go
    Hold tight, do it right, taking it slow

    Don't they ever have to worry?
    Don't you ever wonder why?
    It's a part of me that tells you
    Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
    Never, never, never say die again

    Don't you ever say die
    Don't you ever say die
    Never say die

    Fading silver lining, writing on the wall
    Children get together, you can save us all
    Future's on the corner, showing us our time
    Slow down, turn around, everything's fine

    There's no need to have a reason
    There's no need to wonder why
    It's a part of me that tells you
    Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
    Never, never, never say die again
