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
