Lyrics Don't Let Them Take You Down - Jesse Malin

Don't Let Them Take You Down

We were born in flames, maiden names
Suburban homes, make your bones
Bite your lip, take the fifth
Know your rights, it’s your life now
Don’t let them take you down
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let 'them them take you down
It’s a beautiful day
Hurricanes, love in vain
Murphy’s law, days of war
Crash and burn, live and learn
Fill the void, girls and boys now
Don’t let them take you down
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let them them take you down
It’s a beautiful day
All the people, all the people run
All the while we’re tryin' to find the sun
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let them take you down
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let 'them mess you 'round
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let them them take you down
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let them take you down
A lost generation, now my whole world is shakin' round
Don’t let them take you down
A bad reputation and a dime store nation now
Don’t let them take you down
And when it’s my generation, now my whole world is breakin' my heart
Don’t let them take you down
A lost generation, now my whole world shakin'
