Salute (Original Mix)

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, ain't no one gonna take my soul
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, ain't no one gonna take my soul

You tell me it's about respect
But it seems to me it's about control I don't have
Don't have anything to give you
And you ain't gonna steal my soul

I'm not here to salute you
And I won't bow down to no fool
So no one's gonna tell me how to live my life
By some other rules
I'm not gonna salute you
Not when you don't show respect
I'm not, I'm not gonna salute
I'm not gonna salute you
No, no, no, no
