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 better not set your sights on me
'Cause it just might spoil your victory
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 ground of ancient ones
Lit the fire with the 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 your 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)
You might learn to love another day
And I know you need to hear me say
All I want is you
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 lay your shit on 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 dare forget your history
Don't you tread on me
On my way, I got nothing to lose
Sister mercy gonna take my hand
Lead me over to the promised land
But you better not set your sights on me
'Cause it just might spoil your victory
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 ground of ancient ones
Lit the fire with the 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 your 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)
You might learn to love another day
And I know you need to hear me say
All I want is you
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 lay your shit on 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 dare forget your history
Don't you tread on me
