Lyrics for Don鈥檛 Let The Bastards Get You Down

Don't let the bastards get you down Don't sell your heart to no business man He'll sell it back next time around Don't let the bastards get you down There's a new town coming my way On this never ending highway I missed my baby's birthday I'm feeling sorry in the worst way It seems I'm always losing For another life they're choosing They make you go the distance 'Til you lose your own existence Don't let the bastards get you down Don't let 'em sell your heart and steal you blind Make sure there's no next time around Don't let the bastards get you down From Aberdeen to Austin St Augustine to Boston We ain't about to give it To those who just can't live it They wanta wear your rhinestones Man they ain't got the backbone Those tone deaf sons a bitches They don't know your rags to riches Don't let the bastards get you down Don't let them beat you up and bruise your pride Don't give yourself to common clowns Don't let the bastards get you down When dreams become a nightmare You wake up bound for nowhere Too poor to pay attention Too far and few to mention Dudes lookin' down their noses Thinkin' bullshit smells like roses All the cocaine in existence Couldn't keep your nose out of my business Don't let the bastards get you down Don't sell your heart to no business man He'll sell it back next time around Don't let the bastards get you down Keep all them haters underground Don't let the bastards get you down
