Don`t Let The Bastards (Get You Down) — текст песни (Kris Kristofferson)

They`re killing babies in the name of Freedom
We`ve been down that sorry road before
They let us hang around a little longer than they should have
And it`s too late to fool us anymore

We`ve seen the ones who killed the ones with vision
Cold-blooded murder right before your eyes
Today they hold the power and the money and the guns
It`s getting hard to listen to their lies.

Chorus:
And I`ve just got to wonder what my Daddy would`ve done
If he`d seen the way they turned his dream around
I`ve got to go by what he told me, try to tell the truth
And stand your ground
DON`T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN


Mining roads
Killing farmers
Burning down schools full of children
Fighting communism


Chorus:
And I`ve just got to wonder what my Daddy would`ve done
If he`d seen the way they turned his dream around
I`ve got to go by what he told me, try to tell the truth
And stand your ground
DON`T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN
