What keeps me down?
You held me down as sure as the sun
And all the time
I'm lost in a rage no one can explain
You've taken away much more than you gave
You find the words were wrong
For everyone who sees the place
For everyone who's gonna fall
But there's no compromise
Now I could see into your eyes
So now that everybody's gone
And every paper that you read
You feel your spirit grieve
But never recognized
I thought your words were mine
In every song you've ever sung
In every song you've ever sung
But now the time is gonna come
And made me not to love
You find the words were wrong
What keeps me down?
And there's no feeling lost
You held me down as sure as the sun
What keeps you down?
And all the time
You've taken away much more than you gave
For anyone you coulda saved
And now your worries gonna fall
You held me down as sure as the sun
You held me down as sure as the sun
You held me down as sure as the sun
I thought your words were mine
But I won't help at all
What keeps me down?
I thought your words were mine
For everyone who could've loved
I thought your words were mine
I'm lost in a rage no one can explain
What keeps me down?
You held me down as sure as the sun
You see no change has come
Who knows they can't belong
And all the time
The distance another leaves
You held me down as sure as the sun
And all the time
