Lyrics Hold Me Down - Ben Kweller

Hold Me Down

Once upon sometime ago I swam upon the untold
Taking all my orders from some leader I don’t know
Lots of this went on as their weakness intensified
Power only loves itself and that’s the reason why
You can’t hold me down, you can’t hold me down
You can’t hold me down, you can’t hold me down
Fly above the people who need better angels more than you
Spread your wings like an eagle now, heal the heartless view
We don’t need apologies, actually it’s nothing new
Love only powers love, unlock the love in you
You can’t hold me down, you can’t hold me down
You can’t hold me down, you can’t hold me down
You can’t hold me down, you can’t hold me down
You can’t hold me down, you can’t hold me down
Take a look at your situation
And maybe you’ll come around
It’s not just me
You can’t hold me down, you can’t hold me down
You can’t hold me down, you can’t hold me down
You can’t hold me down, you can’t hold me down (it's not just me)
You can’t hold me down, you can’t hold me down (no, it’s not just me)
You can’t hold me down, you can’t hold me down (one day you’re gonna see
It’s not just me)
