Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down
Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Oh, no, don't let the bastards get you down
Screaming back at home on a cracked cellphone
There's no one to hear you when
They just don't want to know
No cleaning up the mess they
Left in a nowhere town
The future just contains what we
Put into it now
Open up the windows of your boxed in art
Open up the prison gates, open up your heart
You no longer sleep quiet once
You've opened up your eyes
Only when the truth is recognized
Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bastards get you down
Open up the windows of your boxed in art
Open up the prison gates, open up your heart
You no longer sleep quiet once
You've opened up your eyes
Only when the truth is recognized
Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bastards get you down
We refuse to be highrised (We refuse)
Inventoried, merchandised
Indoctrinated by the things we're
Told to fear
We refuse to be cast aside (We refuse)
Ridiculed and normalized
Worried by the things we're told to fear
Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Oh, no, don't let the bastards get you down
Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bastards get you down
Down, down, down, down, down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bastards get you down, down
Down
