Don't Let The Bastards Get You Down lyrics - Anti-Flag

Don't let the bastards get you down

Don't run for cover when you hear that sound

Oh, no...

Don't let the bastards get you down

Screaming back at home on a cracked phone

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 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

Don't let the bastards 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 bastards get you down

Don't let the bastards 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 bastards get you down

Open up the windows of your boxed in art

Open 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

Don't let the bastards 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 bastards get you down

Don't let the bastards 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 bastards get you down

We refuse to be highrised

Inventoried, merchandised

Indoctrinated by things we're told to fear

We refuse to be cast aside

Ridiculed and normalized

Worried by things we're told to fear

Don't let the bastards get you down

Don't run for cover when you hear that sound

Oh, no...

Don't let the bastards get you down

Don't let the bastards 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 bastards get you down

Don't let the bastards 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 bastards get you down down down
