lyrics

Stay Down

Mr. Man says that I’m just okay.
Says it’s nothing special when I sing and I play.
Mr. Man says maybe I should rethink.
Says the things I love will be gone in a blink.

I stretch and I pull,
I push and I shove.
They’re making sure
That I don’t rise above.

They always tell me,
“Stay down!
Stay down!
There’s no need to fight, we’ll tell you what’s right.
Stay down!
Stay down!
There’s nothing to do,
We just can’t depend on you.”

Preacher man says that I need to step down.
All the people whisper when I come around.
Preacher man says maybe I should move back.
He can’t make up for the faith that I lack.

I try to stand tall,
But I fall to my knees.
I’ve gotta ask,
Who am I trying to please?

Every man says I need to take a seat.
I should know when to admit defeat.
Everyman says that it’s time to let go.
That if I don’t know now, then I’ll never know.

They can say what they want,
But I’ll never give in.
It’s not a war,
What are you trying to win?
