Lyrics You Can't Keep Us Down - Danko Jones, Garth Richardson

You Can't Keep Us Down

The time is now
You gotta jump off the sidelines
Things are turning, fields are burning
Gotta get on the mainline
Hit hard, don’t pull no punches
Don’t take no crap
Rise up, get out of bed
Follow your hunches
In this life man, you gotta pick sides
I’m standing tall for mine, doing what’s right
'Cause now is the time
We come together, when we do, we get better
I gotta tell you, it feels special
To see us standing together
The only way in is if you’ve paid your dues
If you haven’t, gotta a thousand for you
Don’t believe the lies that you’ve been fed
Compliance means you’ve been thought of as dead 'cause
All around the world we keep screaming
You can’t keep us down
There is no time for you to fall in line
Wake up and live, reject your confines
You’ll find the meaning and the purpose of life
With your mouth, your fist and the face it kissed
In this life man, you gotta pick sides
I’m standing tall for mine, doing what’s right
'Cause now is the time
We come together, when we do, we get better
I gotta tell you, it feels special
To see us standing together
The only way in is if you’ve paid your dues
If you haven’t, gotta a thousand for you
Don’t believe the lies that you’ve been fed
Compliance means you’ve been thought of as dead 'cause
All around the world we keep screaming
You can’t keep us down
All around the world we keep screaming
You can’t keep us down
All around the world we keep screaming
You can’t keep us
That sound is karma
Coming 'round
The coffers bleeding
Burned to the ground
We don’t need reasons
To take our bite
But give us one excuse
For us to strike
Yeah
All around the world we keep screaming
You can’t keep us down
All around the world we keep screaming
You can’t keep us down
All around the world we keep screaming
You can’t keep us down
All around the world we keep screaming
You can’t keep us down
You can’t keep us down
You can’t keep us down
