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, feeling sorry in the worst way
It seems I'm always losing for another life they're choosing
They make you go the distance till 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 wanna wear your rhinestones, man, they ain't got the backbone
Them tone deaf sons of 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 a dream becomes 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
Don't let the bastards get you down
