Live it down, there's a lot of us been pushed around |
|
Red, yellow, black, white and brown with a tear of their own |
|
Oh, can't you see while you're pickin' on society |
|
That the leaves on your family tree are callin' you to come home |
|
You're the keeper of the castle, so be a father to your children |
|
The provider of all their daily needs |
|
Like a sovereign Lord protector be their destiny's director |
|
And they'll do well to follow where you lead |
|
Oh, in your head, you don't believe what the good book said |
|
You're gonna strike out now instead, 'cause the world's been unkind |
|
Put through thick and thin whatever shape your heart is in |
|
You only have one next of kin better keep 'em in mind |
|
You're the keeper of the castle, so be a good man to your lady |
|
The creator of the sunshine in her day |
|
Tend the garden that you seeded be a friend when a friend is needed |
|
An' you won't have to look the other way |
|
Live it down, there's a lot of us been pushed around |
|
Red, yellow, black, white and brown with a tear of their own |
|
Oh, can't you see, while you're pickin' on society |
|
That the leaves on your family tree are beggin' you to come on home |
|
Live it down, there's a lot of us been pushed around |
|
Red, yellow, black, white and brown with a tear of their own |
|
In your head, you don't believe what the good book said |
