Danko Jones – You Can't Keep Us Down lyrics

The time is now
You gotta jump off the sidelines
Things are turning, fields are burning
Gotta get on the mainline
Hit hard, don't pull no punches
Don't take no crap
Rise up, get out of bed
Follow your hunches

In this life man, you gotta pick sides
I'm standing tall for mine, doing what's right
'Cause now is the time
We come together, when we do we get better
I gotta tell you, it feels special
To see us standing together

The only way in is if you've paid your dues
If you haven't, gotta a thousand for you
Don't believe the lies that you've been fed
Compliance means you've been thought of as dead 'cause

All around the world we keep screaming
You can't keep us down

There is no time for you to fall in line
Wake up and live, reject your confines
You'll find the meaning and the purpose of life
With your mouth, your fist and the face it kissed

In this life man, you gotta pick sides
I'm standing tall for mine, doing what's right
'Cause now is the time
We come together, when we do we get better
I gotta tell you, it feels special
To see us standing together

The only way in is if you've paid your dues
If you haven't, gotta a thousand for you
Don't believe the lies that you've been fed
Compliance means you've been thought of as dead 'cause

All around the world we keep screaming
You can't keep us down
All around the world we keep screaming
You can't keep us down
All around the world we keep screaming
You can't keep us…

That sound is karma
Coming round
The coffers bleeding
Burned to the ground
We don't need reasons
To take our bite
But give us one excuse
For us to strike
Yeah!

All around the world we keep screaming
You can't keep us down
All around the world we keep screaming
You can't keep us down
All around the world we keep screaming
You can't keep us down
All around the world we keep screaming
You can't keep us down
You can't keep us down
You can't keep us down
