Don’t Let the bast*rds Get You Down lyrics

[Intro]
Don't let the bast*rds get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Oh, no, don't let the bast*rds get you down

[Verse 1]
Screaming back at home on a cracked cellphone
There's no one to hear you when they just don't want to know
No cleaning up the mess they left in a nowhere town
The future just contains what we put into it now
Open up the windows of your boxed in art
Open up the prison gates, open up your heart
You no longer sleep quiet once you've opened up your eyes
Only when the truth is recognized

[Chorus]
Don't let the bast*rds get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bast*rds get you down
Don't let the bast*rds get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bast*rds get you down
[Verse 2]
Open up the windows of your boxed in art
Open up the prison gates, open up your heart
You no longer sleep quiet once you've opened up your eyes
Only when the truth is recognized

[Chorus]
Don't let the bast*rds get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bast*rds get you down
Don't let the bast*rds get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bast*rds get you down

[Bridge]
We refuse to be highrised (We refuse)
Inventoried, merchandised
Indoctrinated by the things we're told to fear
We refuse to be cast aside (We refuse)
Ridiculed and normalized
Worried by the things we're told to fear
[Outro]
Don't let the bast*rds get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Oh, no, don't let the bast*rds get you down
Don't let the bast*rds get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bast*rds get you down
Down, down, down, down, down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bast*rds get you down, down, down
