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
