They Won't Get Us Down

We ran
As we've been told not to run
I've tried to hold in my breath
He started lifting his gun

The blinding lights keep everyone at bay
I'd love to let your shivers melt away
In truth lie the secrets we find
As we left our children behind

This can't be right
I tasted the essence of life
In viols filled with pretty lies
We're growing with each tragedy
So stand your ground with me

By your side I chose to stay
And we will not let 'em fall from grace
Cause they won't get us down again
They won't get us down again

We are
Back up and on our feet
I feel the rush and the the need
Tonight we'll be finally be free

Again you've been reminding me to stand
My ground and we don't have to play pretend
It jumps straight to my anxious mind
The rope won't get tighter sometimes

But we're the remedy
They march to the rhythm we play
Unbroken, still counting the days
If you throw the first stone you're risking the chance
That you'll die for nothing

By your side I chose to stay
And we will not let 'em fall from grace
Cause they won't get us down again

Bend your knees and fold your hands
Broken homes lie plain and dead
With the footsteps sound so deafening
Cause they won't get us down again

They won't get us down
They won't get us down

And so
We're here and back at the place
Deceased
Deceived
From the belly of the beast
Your face
Your trace
We will never fall from grace

By your side I chose to stay
And we will not let 'em fall from grace
Cause they won't get us down again

Bend your knees and fold your hands
Broken homes lie plain and dead
With the footsteps sound so deafening
Cause they won't get us down again
They won't get us down again
