Lyrics Don't Let the Bastards Get You Down - Kris Kristofferson

Don't Let the Bastards Get You Down

Theyre killing babies in the name of freedom
Weve been down that sorry road before
They let us hang around a little longer than they should have
And its too late to fool us anymore
Weve seen the ones who killed the ones with vision
Cold-blooded murder right before your eyes
Today they hold the power and the money and the guns
Its getting hard to listen to their lies.
And Ive just got to wonder what my daddy wouldve done
If hed seen the way they turned his dream around
Ive got to go by what he told me, try to tell the truth
And stand your ground
Dont let the bastards get you down
Mining roads
Killing farmers
Burning down schools full of children
Fighting communism
And Ive just got to wonder what my daddy wouldve done
If hed seen the way they turned his dream around
Ive got to go by what he told me, try to tell the truth
And stand your ground
Dont let the bastards get you down
