Stand Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Stand down, yeah
Stand down, yeah...
Friends and lovers beware, cause there's something in the air
I feel it coming, I feel it coming
And I'm talking to you all, cause when that hammer starts to
fall
There'll be no running, there'll be no running
But my people and your people must do the things they do, yeah
And my people are such sweet people, don't worry baby, won't get
those hooks on
you
Stand down, don't let them know your secret
Stand down, if you wanna live your life
Stand down, don't let them know your secret
Stand down, if you wanna live your life
Stand down, oh yeah
Stand down, yeah
It is written in the sky, there's no place for you and I
To keep on strumming, no strumming
In the message that we send, they're gonna tell us in the end
That we had it coming, we had it coming
But my people and your people must do the things they do, yeah
And my people
are such sweet people, don't worry baby, won't get those hooks
on you
Stand down, don't let 'em know your secret
Stand down, if you wanna live your life
Stand down, don't let 'em know your secret
Stand down, if you want if you wanna live your life
If all the things that we possess
The most important is tenderness
Too cold when that wind blows today
And bitterness is the easy way
Stand down...
But my people and your people must do the things they do, yeah
And my people are such sweet people, don't worry baby, won't get
those hooks on
you
Stand down, don't let 'em know your secret
Stand down, if you wanna live your life
Stand down, don't let them know your secret
Stand down, if you wanna live your life
Stand down
