Well the strain that I’m under…
Is the price that I pay
I can still bring the thunder…
Still got something to say

There were times that I thought I was done for
Should I lie? Should I cry? Should I pray?
But I ain’t gonna beg for you no more
Move the world out my way

Not Today (Not Today)
Not that way
Feel the strain that I’m under
Yeah…
I still got the fire in my eyes
Come what may (Come what may)
Price I pay
Chains are dragging me under
Yeah…
Not Today
Not that way

Well the strain that I’m under
Takes its toll everyday
But one way or another
I’ll blow the nightmares away
Understand that I’ll get what I came for
I got nothing to lose anyway
Sick and tired of the strain that I’m under
Move the world out the way

Not Today (Not Today)
Not Today (Not Today)
Not Today (Not Today)
Not Today (Not Today)

I’ve still got the fire in my eyes
I’ve still got the heart to go on
On and on…
I’ll smile through the trial
I’ll go mile after mile after mile
If that’s what it takes till it’s gone…
Long long gone

Not Today
Not Today (Not Today)
Not that way
Feel the strain that I’m under
Yeah…
I still got the fire in my eyes
Come what may (Come what may)
Price I pay
Chains are dragging me under
Yeah…
Not Today
Not that way
Not Today
Not Today
Not Today
Not Today
