Kick You When You’re Down Songtext
von Machine Head

Come on!

Love for my love, hate for my hate
Strength for my strength and pain for my pain
Pride for my pride, match it inside
Trust that I find in you
But it′s hard and it's brutal, it′s nasty and rude
And it's dirty and mean
When they treat you like yesterday's news
They want to keep us all downtown, frowned, underground
But no one is keeping me down, fuck no
I′ll keep my head high

′Cause they will always kick you when you're down


Life for my life, soul for my soul
Truth for my truth and heart for my heart
Drive for my drive, match it inside
Fight for this fight and don′t you ever
Never give up, give up
You gotta play like a master of chess
It's a long road and it′s a mental endurance stress test
Sometimes you fight and you win
Sometimes you fight and you lose
It's the fighter in you not to lose
So keep your head high

′Cause they will always kick you when you're down

You have to trust in yourself
You must believe in yourself
You have to follow your heart
You overcome, improve, endure
You have to trust in yourself
You must believe in yourself
You have to follow your heart
You overcome, improve, endure


Love for my love, hate for my hate
Strength for my strength and pain for my pain
Pride for my pride, match it inside
Keep up the drive and fight the fight
Because some shit ain't right
Don′t lose our sight
Get our head right
Shine our star too bright
Nothing in life is for sure
It′s just a gamble so play it for all that it's worth
And don′t forget to keep our heads high

'Cause they will always kick you when you′re down
(They will always kick you when you're down)
And don′t you let their kicking get you down

You have to trust in yourself
You must believe in yourself
You have to follow your heart
You overcome, improve, endure
You have to trust in yourself
You must believe in yourself
You have to follow your heart
You overcome, improve, endure
You have to trust in yourself
You must believe in yourself
You have to follow your heart
You overcome, improve, endure
You have to trust in yourself
You must believe in yourself
You have to follow your heart
You overcome, improve, endure
You have to trust in yourself
You must believe in yourself
You have to follow your heart
You overcome, improve, endure

(You have to trust in yourself)
(You must believe in yourself)
(You have to follow your heart)
(You overcome, improve, endure)
(You have to trust in yourself)
(You must believe in yourself)
(You have to follow your heart)
(You overcome, improve, endure)
