Bring Me Down Songtext
von Monoxide

I grew up in a place called hell
Way down deep where the evil likes to dwell
You could smell all the trouble in the air
But it′s a strange situation, 'cause no one seems to care
It′s populated by people in combinations
Of situations that slowly through time, they start fadin'
Everyone's a devil just tryin′ to be God
And for all the wrong reasons and that′s why they died
I never cry, but it's all so blurry
That the vision that I′m gettin's really makin′ me worry
And if I hurry, then I'm just another rat in a race
I′d rather sit back and learn from everybody's mistakes
Plot and plan a way up outta this place
So I can save face before they eliminate me
It's like a quicksand trap and it′s up to my chest
And I′m sinkin' so fast, I need help


Y′all will never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
Y'all will never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
Y′all will never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
Y'all will never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down

I′m surrounded by nothin' but these walls
Dressed in all orange, waitin' on my phone call
Everybody workin′ here′s actin' like God
But none of ′em realize that it's just a job
Drop thirty ′cause I just wouldn't stop
And now I′m sittin' here and all I can see is the cops
This is what it's really comin′ down to
If you violate, the devil′s gonna wanna see you
And if you breathe through a tube and your car won't move
Then the devil′s gonna wanna come and see you too
Pick the battles that you really wanna fight
'Cause sometimes it could land you in hell overnight
When you dealin′ with the devil, gotta watch your step
'Cause he could really come and get you when you least expect
It′s a proven fact, just ask my man Jack
And he just did a year 'cause he got caught with a sack


Y'all will never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
Y′all will never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
Y′all will never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
Y'all will never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down

There′s a hell for anybody of any age
The devil don't care if you′re scared and afraid
It's time to do somethin′ a lot of parents had never did
Find a way to try to talk to these kids
Sit 'em down and try to let 'em know that
The devil don′t care if you′re white, brown, or black
It's all around those who froze or stand still
While the rest escape from the hand of hate′s will
Still I try to get by without fallin'
And then maybe I can put it in drive and stop stallin′
It's a very fine line to walk
But you can do it or get outlined in chalk, you blew it
It ain′t cool, it's a shame
Now somebody explain to his moms why they took him away
This ain't a game, it′s a life and a struggle
Of a man who grew up in a hustle (Everybody now)

Y′all will never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
Y'all will never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
Y′all will never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
Y'all will never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
You never bring me down
