Lyrics Knock Us Down -
Select which language to translate into:
|
| We’ve always lived inside the lines—
|
| Right wing, Left hook — clouding our minds,
|
| Holding us back, but not this time.
|
| We were raised
|
| on confusion,
|
| products of misinformation.
|
| Never got our
|
| story straight.
|
| This time—
|
| it’s too late.
|
| We’re drowning in our
|
| discontent.
|
| I don’t trust the
|
| government.
|
| It’s a
|
| conspiracy. |
| You
|
| only know
|
| what they want you to see!
|
| Knock us down,
|
| but we’re still standing!
|
| Knock us down,
|
| but we’re still standing!
|
| You don’t control us with your fear.
|
| We won’t submit and disappear.
|
| We were raised on
|
| promises.
|
| So I picket the whitewash
|
| fences.
|
| Nothing’s ever
|
| as it seems.
|
| I don’t want
|
| the American Dream.
|
| You surrender
|
| all you are—
|
| only living
|
| from afar.
|
| But I’ll make
|
| my own way. |
| For-
|
| get tomorrow.
|
| Live for today!
|
| Knock us down,
|
| but we’re still standing!
|
| Knock us down,
|
| but we’re still standing!
|
| We were raised on
|
| promises.
|
| So I picket the whitewash
|
| fences.
|
| Nothing’s ever
|
| as it seems.
|
| I don’t want
|
| the American Dream.
|
| You surrender
|
| all you are—
|
| only living
|
| from afar.
|
| But I’ll make
|
| my own way. |
| For-
|
| get tomorrow.
|
| Live for today!
|
| Knock us down,
|
| but we’re still standing!
|
| Knock us down,
|
| but we’re still standing! |
