lyrics

Don't let the bastards get you down x
Don't let them, don't let them
Push you around

They hold you hold you back, they push you down
The deck the deck is stacked, your dreams are drowned
And you can't trust nobody, no one around
Except yourself

I know you feel broken, I feel broken, too
You can't change the past, what can you do?
Challenge what's verboten, tell the world the truth
Liberate your sisters and you'll free yourself, too

(Don't let the bastards get you down x)
They hold you hold you back, they push you down
The deck the deck is stacked, your dreams are drowned
And you can't trust nobody, no one around
Except yourself
Accept yourself
Accept yourself
