Don't let the bastards get you down

Don't run for cover when you hear that sound

Oh, no, don't let the bastards get you down
[Verse 1]
D                D                 Em  D

        D         D                   Em                 D
There's no one to hear you when they just don't want to know

   D               D                   Em      D
No cleaning up the mess they left in a nowhere town

The future just contains what we put into it now

Open up the prison gates, open up your heart

D                   D                        Em      D
You no longer sleep quiet once you've opened up your eyes

D             D        D
Only when the truth is recognized

Don't let the bastards get you down
[Bridge]
G               D
We refuse to be highrised (We refuse)

G            D
Inventoried, merchandised

G                    Em                   D
Indoctrinated by the things we're told to fear

G               D
We refuse to be cast aside (We refuse)

G             D
Ridiculed and normalized

G              Em                   D
Worried by the things we're told to fear
[Outro]
                               D
Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound

Our only hope is the unknown

Don't run for cover when you hear that sound

                            G
Don't be afraid, you're not alone

                     A
Our only hope is the unknown

Don't let the bastards get you down, down, down
