Lyrics
Kickdown
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.
It's all around you -- look out the window and see
You've got your whole life -- they've got your MTV
Turn off the TV
Get up on your feet
Make some noise in your head and on the street
It's waiting for you -- company hold
Try not to be bought, and try not to be sold
(chorus): kick down the walls, kick down the doors
but you can't escape it all -- it's you they're coming for
Teenage nights lead to grownup days
That's alright, cause you learn how to play
Take it or leave it -- there's not a lot of choice
Got to earn a living -- just don't lose your voice
Well I want to rock
Don't want to be caged
If that's their religion, then I don't want to pray
(chorus) It's you they're coming for, and it's hard to escape
The harder and harder you work, the better target you make
Better knuckle down, buckle down and break away
If you want to be saved
