Freedom rider
|
On a midnight cruise
|
On my way
|
I got nothing to lose
|
|
Sister mercy
|
Gonna take my hand
|
Lead me over
|
To the promised land
|
|
But you'd better not
|
Set your sights on me
|
'Cause it just might spoil your victory
|
|
Chorus:
|
Don't you dare
|
Don't you tread on me
|
Don't you tread on me
|
Don't you try
|
And make some fool of me
|
Don't you tread on me
|
|
We walked the gound
|
Of ancient ones
|
Lit the fire
|
With a rising sun
|
|
You and me
|
We got a full on rage
|
Won't get fooled
|
No I won't be caged
|
|
Make love not war
|
Was you claim to fame
|
Now you're takin' me down
|
Well I won't be tamed
|
|
Don't you dare
|
Don't you tread on me
|
Don't you tread on me
|
Don't you try
|
And make some fool of me
|
Don't you tread on me
|
|
You better turn and walk away
|
(Don't tread on me)
|
I'd like to love another day
|
Yeah and I know you need to hear me say
|
All I want is you
|
|
After Guitar Solo:
|
Don't you dare
|
Don't you tread on me
|
Don't you tread on me
|
|
Don't you try
|
And make some fool of me
|
Don't you tread on
|
|
Don't you dare
|
Don't you tread on me
|
Don't you tread on me
|
|
Don't you try
|
And make us enemies
|
Don't you tread on
|
|
Don't you dare
|
Don't you tread on me
|
Don't you tread on me
|
|
Don't you dare forget your history
|
Don't you tread on me
|
