1, Memories of my childhood contain nothin' but hunger and thirst
And God knows I have suffered, I have suffered the worst
My youth was a constant battle hard as the swinging, smoking seas.
I rather die standing upright than living on my knees
2, In seventh grade I got tired,Did not care any more
What poor kid care for school when the future looks dark and soar
And no one,noone wants a fellow with a social disease.
But I rather die standing upright than living on my knees
3, Who cares for you little fellow,my shrink once said to me
I said: I would not let no one in, how could I then remain here free
And when the rich worlds playing polo and drink champagne by the trees
I knew I would I rather die standing upright than living on my knees
4. And I just kept on walking, walking away from that life
I did not believe in marriage, would run from that kind of human strife
My manners and appearance did not calculate to please;
Course I would I rather die standing upright than living on my knees
I would I rather die standing upright than living on my knees
