作词 : Lightfoot | |
When he was a man, my father would stand | |
I never saw him run | |
There wasn't anyone could make the man bend | |
And the strength of his will was the tool of his trade | |
And he did his work well | |
Till the powers that be took a liking to him | |
And they traded his body for a cold empty shell | |
Don't beat me down | |
Don't beat me down | |
I've got something to say | |
Don't you stand in my way | |
And don't beat me down | |
When i was a youth, i found the truth | |
In the eyes of a friend | |
There wasn't anyone could make the light dim | |
And we talked and we rambled and we gambled to win | |
And the learning was good | |
Till the powers that be to a liking to him | |
And they traded their fortunes for the sight of his blood | |
When i was a child my mother smiled | |
At the cradle she bought | |
For the little tot she held to her breast | |
And the song that she sang was an anthem to love | |
It was all that i heard | |
Till the powers that be took a liking to me | |
And they told me that love was a four-letter word | |
Don't beat me down | |
Don't beat me down | |
I've got one life to live | |
And that's all i can give | |
So don't beat me down | |
Now i've got a place, got a worried face | |
And the question in mind | |
Please let me find a reason somehow | |
Why some reap the harvest while other men die | |
And the joker runs wild | |
And if powers that be take a liking to us | |
Then we all must return to the ways of a child | |
We all must return to the ways of a child | |
So don't beat me down | |
Don't beat me down | |
I've got something to say | |
Don't you stand in my way | |
And don't beat me down | |
I've got one life to life | |
And that's all i can give | |
So don't beat me down | |
Don't beat me down | |
Don't beat me down |
