Lyrics to 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 phone
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 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 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
Inventoried, merchandised
Indoctrinated by things we're told to fear
We refuse to be cast aside
Ridiculed and normalized
Worried by 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
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
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 phone
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 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 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
Inventoried, merchandised
Indoctrinated by things we're told to fear
We refuse to be cast aside
Ridiculed and normalized
Worried by 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
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
