[Verse 1]
Cover my ears and close my eyes
Just long enough to stop the noise
Go on, take everything and throw it away
But I will use my voice

[Refrain]
Woah, woah, oh
Woah, woah, oh

[Verse 2]
Drown every truth in an ocean of lies
Label me "bitch" because I dare to draw my own line
Burn every bridge and build a wall in my way
But I will use my voice

[Chorus]
Woah, woah, oh
Whether you like it or not, you're gonna take what I got
Woah, woah, oh
If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not, I give and I give a lot
But don't you speak for me
Woah, woah, oh
No, don't you speak for me

[Verse 3]
Never mind me, I'm a waste of your time
Never gonna fit in the box that you need
And I can read between the lines, yeah
Gather your friends and wave your gun in my face
But I will use my voice

[Chorus]
Woah, woah, oh
Whether you like it or not, you're gonna take what I got
Woah, woah, oh
If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not, I give and I give a lot
But don't you speak for me
Woah, woah, oh
No, don't you speak for me

[Bridge]
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
One day soon
It's gonna fall back on you
No more lies
We're gonna break right through
Like it or not

[Chorus]
Woah, woah, oh
If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not, I give and I give a lot
But don't you speak for me
Woah, woah, oh
No, don't you speak for me
Woah, woah, oh (Whether you like it or not)
Don't you speak for me

Evanescence is an American rock band founded in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1995 by singer/pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody. Evanescence was originally promoted in Christian stores. Later, the band made it clear they did not want to be considered part of the Christian rock genre, like fellow Wind-up Records artists Creed. Some of their most popular hits “Bring Me to Life,” “My Immortal,” and “What You Want.”

In 2014, the band parted ways with their long-term record label Wind-Up and became independent artists. In late 2016, they released a Ultimate Collection box set featuring all their albums along with the 2000 demo album Origin and a B-sides compilation Lost Whispers.

In November 2017, they released their fourth album, Synthesis, featuring a reimagining of some of their past songs plus two new original songs with the spotlight on full orchestra and electronics.
