Lyrics
They ll try to keep you down, and felt society try to keep you down, they ll try to keep you down
Others will just suffer more, they ll try to keep you down Distortion, gonna go to the white house and paint it black
Parents just couldn t wait, they ll try to keep you down, they ll try to keep you down
Ignorance like a gun in hand, reach out to the promised land Me, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
you re eighteen wanna be a man
some are rich and some are poor
They ll try to keep you down, you re eighteen wanna be a man Distortion, ignorance like a gun in hand reach out to the promised land
you re eighteen wanna be a man
Don t drag me down, they ll try to keep you down
Reach out to the promised land, children are taught to hate
Your granddaddy s in the ku klux klan, they ll try to keep you down
You re eighteen wanna be a man, your history books are full of lies Social, your history books are full of lies
Children are taught to hate, your granddaddy s in the ku klux klan
Have you ever been ashamed and felt society try to keep you down, and felt society try to keep you down Down, children are taught to hate
Some are rich and some are poor, have you ever been afraid Drag, others will just suffer more
They ll try to keep you down, your granddaddy s in the ku klux klan
Ignorance like a gun in hand reach out to the promised land, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
reach out to the promised land
Don t drag me down, don t drag me down, reach out to the promised land
Have you ever been ashamed and felt society try to keep you down, don t drag me down
They ll try to keep you down, your history books are full of lies
your history books are full of lies
reach out to the promised land
don t drag me down
they ll try to keep you down
media -blitz gonna dry your eyes
Have you ever been afraid, some are rich and some are poor Don't, i begin to watch things change and see them turn around
Taking two steps foward and four steps back, they ll try to keep you down, reach out to the promised land
I begin to watch things change and see them turn around, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes, have you ever been ashamed and felt society try to keep you down
they ll try to keep you down
Parents just couldn t wait, gonna go to the white house and paint it black
Some are rich and some are poor, don t drag me down, others will just suffer more
Your granddaddy s in the ku klux klan, don t drag me down
Don t drag me down, they ll try to keep you down
You re eighteen wanna be a man, they ll try to keep you down
They ll try to keep you down, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes, your history books are full of lies
Taking two steps foward and four steps back, others will just suffer more
They ll try to keep you down, gonna go to the white house and paint it black, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
Parents just couldn t wait, others will just suffer more, don t drag me down
gonna go to the white house and paint it black
I begin to watch things change and see them turn around, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes Drag, your history books are full of lies
Gonna go to the white house and paint it black, i begin to watch things change and see them turn around Me, i begin to watch things change and see them turn around
others will just suffer more
they ll try to keep you down
Don t drag me down, others will just suffer more, ignorance like a gun in hand
Your history books are full of lies, and felt society try to keep you down
Gonna go to the white house and paint it black, have you ever been afraid Don't, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
Don t drag me down, i begin to watch things change and see them turn around
