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
