Defy You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You may push me around
But you cannot win
You may throw me down
But I'll rise again
The more you say
The more I defy you
So get out of my face
Woah, yeah

[Chorus]
You cannot stop us
You cannot bring us down
Never give up
We go on and on
You'll never break us
Never bring us down
We are alive

[Verse 2]
When the wind blows
I'll lean into the wind
When my anger grows
I'll use it to win
The more you say
The more I defy you
So get out of my way
Woah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
All my will
All my strength
Rip it out (Woah)
Start again

[Chorus]
You cannot stop us
You cannot bring us down
Never give up
We go on and on
You'll never break us
Never bring us down
We are alive

[Bridge]
All my will
All my strength
Rip it out
Start again
All my will
All my strength
Rip it out
Start again
(Can you leave it all behind?)
All my will
All my strength
(Can you leave it all behind?)
Rip it out
('Cause you can't go back, you can't go back)
Start again
(Can you leave it all behind?)
All my will
(Can you leave it all behind?)
All my strength
('Cause you can't go back, you can't go back)
Rip it out
('Cause you can't go back, you can't go back)
Start again

[Chorus]
You cannot stop us
You cannot bring us down
Never give up
We go on and on
You'll never break us
Never bring us down
We are alive
We are alive
Oh no

About

Defy You was originally intended to be released on their 2003 album Splinter, but it never ended up on the album. Although some international copies contain an acoustic version of the song. The album version of the song did end up on their Greatest Hits album, along with Can’t Repeat.

Defy You was also Offspring drummer Ron Welty’s final work with them before his departure from the band.

The song is one of many Offspring/punk songs against political corruption.
