  • We can't
    We can't back down
    We can't
    We can't back down
    We can't
    We can't back down
    We can't
    We can't back down

    Not right now
    We can't back down
    Not right now
    We can't back down
    We can't back down

    Don't close your eyes
    We're all in this together
    Wherever we draw the line
    We're not gonna straddle across it
    Or lose it

    We can't back down
    There's too much at stake
    This is serious
    Don't walk away
    We can't pretend it's not happening
    In our own backyard
    Our own home plate
    (No way)
    We've been called out
    (We've been called out)

    Do you hear your name?
    (Yeah)
    I'm not confused
    Let's win this thing
    (Let's do it)
    We can't back down
    There's too much at stake
    Don't walk away
    Don't walk away, yeah

    Don't get me wrong
    I don't like confrontation
    I'd rather we all just get along
    Music should be undivided, united

    We can't back down
    There's too much at stake
    This is serious
    Don't walk away
    We can't pretend it's not happening
    In our own backyard
    Our own home plate

    (No way)
    We've been called out
    (We've been called out)
    Do you hear your name?

    (Yeah)
    I'm not confused
    Let's win this thing

    (Let's do it)
    We can't back down
    There's too much at stake
    Don't walk away
    Don't walk away, yeah

    We got a situation that we can't ignore
    'Cause ignorance is not bliss
    We don't have to take this, no
    With every big decision
    Comes an equally important share of the risk
    We gotta take this

    We can't back down
    There's too much at stake
    This is serious
    Don't walk away
    We can't pretend, it's not happening
    In our own backyard
    Our own home plate
    We've been called out

    Do you hear your name?
    I'm not confused
    Let's win this thing
    We can't back down
    There's too much at stake
    Don't walk away
    Don't walk away, yeah
    We can't back down

    We can't back down
    Not right now
    We can't back down Writer/s: ANTONINA ARMATO, THOMAS STURGES, TIM JAMES

  • Karen from Manchester, NhEven though I'm a grown-up, I love this song. However, the only problem I have is, having young children, every time I hear the line, "This is serious", I hear it in the voice of the ducking on "WonderPets". It's her catchphrase, and she says it with a lisp: "This is Sewwious". Sometimes if my daughters are listening to this song, I'll purposely sing that line that way to make them laugh.
