You Can't Keep Us Down - Danko Jones, Garth Richardson

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
