Not Gonna Take Me - BAILEN

She was dressed in a fit of illusion

Indigo sun skirt, jet black hair

She was alive with the devil inside

Just burnin' and bruised with a cataract stare

She was on all the time down in Mexico City

When the devil took her down to make the fitting

I’d give you the world if you’d just give me your skin

And I’ll, I’ll take you places that you’ve never been

She said, «I was born down, left to wander

I’m just trying to get free

You took my mother, you took my father

Oh, but you’re not gonna take me

No, no, you’re not»

Backpack tight, full of loose ends

She was sinkin' down, overflowin'

And tuggin' and tearin' just to keep it all in

But the seams come undone to the fate you stole

She said, «Get me a gin and make it a double

Gonna need some miracle to knock out this trouble

«You're not gonna win», she screamed to the sky

And said, «I'll keep on runnin' 'til the day I die, yeah»

I was born down, left to wander

I’m just trying to get free

You took my mother, you took my father

Oh, but you’re not gonna take me, no, no, no

No, you’re not

No, you’re not gonna take

No, you’re not

No, you’re not gonna take

No, you’re not

No, you’re not gonna take

I’ve got hounds on my heels

Trying to crawl into my flesh and trying to tell me how to feel

I’ve got hounds on my heels

Sleepless and just follow me like I’m their only meal

I’ve been primed for the kill

Boots on my wheels

Hounds on my heels

Constantly strayed, the renegade arose

But the devil-hot stones under fiery throws

He said, «There's nothin' I can do to hang up the demon, but

I’ll lock you up if you keep on screamin'»

I was born down, left to wander

I’m just trying to get free

You took my mother, you took my father

Oh, but you’re not gonna take me

No, you’re not

No, you’re not gonna take

No, you’re not

No, you’re not gonna take

No, you’re not

No, you’re not gonna take

No, you’re not

No, you’re not gonna take
