Lyrics:

Black eyes I don't need 'em
Blue tears gimme freedom
Positively never goin' back
I won't live where things are so out of whack
No more rollin' with the punches
No more usin' or abusin'
BRIDGE:
I'd rather die standing
Than live on my knees
Begging please no more
CHORUS:
Black eyes I don't need 'em
Blue tears gimme freedom
Black eyes all behind me
Blue tears'll never find me now
Definitely found my self-esteem
Finally--I'm forever free to dream
No more cryin' in the corner
No excuses--no more bruises
(BRIDGE)
(CHORUS)
I'd rather die standing
Than live on my knees, begging please...
(CHORUS)
It's all behind me, they'll never find me now
Find your self-esteem and be forever free to dream
