As we begin to sing our songs
It’s quickly clear that someone’s wrong
He shouts in safety from inside
The corners of his rigid mind
And physical corners, nightclub booth
A sexist coward, sexist coward

And so we holler back of course
We stand our ground determined force
But we’re to blame for our response
We’re to blame, we’re to blame

But we won’t back down
Never back down
We won’t back down
Never back down
Yeah, we won’t back down
Never back down
We won’t back down
Never back down

They cut out righteous anger short
They took us aside for a talk
Our attitude almost caused a fight
Just shut up and do what’s right
Pretend that nothing happened
And the nice security men will look after you

And so we argued back of course
We stand our ground determined force
But we’re to blame for our response
We’re to blame, we’re to blame

But we won’t back down
Never back down
We won’t back down
Never back down
Yeah, we won’t back down
Never back down
We won’t back down
Never back down
Yeah, we won’t back down
Never back down
We won’t back down
Never back down
Never back down
Never back down
