Well, they deal it out but you
can't get around
When your gagged and bound
And, as it holds you down face to the ground
Your screams make no sound
No....I don't want to be down
I don't want to be down
No, I don't want to be beat to the ground
Well, it looks so fine for a time, but you
know better
Yeah, wipe your eyes your paradise
Is a mirage in the desert
You're serving time, ambition's your crime
The ladder breaks as you climb
But, it's alright; you put up a fight
With all of your might
No...I don't want to be down
I don't want to be down
I don't want to be beat to the ground!
Well, it looks so fine for a time, but you
know better
You're riding high, the wind behind
Into stormy weather
I don't want to be down
I don't want to be beat to the ground
The administration will do you in
Long before you begin
I don't want to be down
I don't want to be down
I don't want to be beat to the ground
Ownership is just a sham
Everything slips through your hands
Where you are is all you got
If you can breathe, well that's a lot
I don't want to be down
I don't want to be down
