Lying Down Lyrics

Lying Down lyrics

I was born and I was bred 

 I was reared and I was fed 

 Moved into the neighbourhood 

 Where I was bad and I was good 

 I fixed things for people there 

 I took them out I don't know where 

 I coloured in their lives to give them outlines 

 I walked before I'll walk again 

 I'll walk along a line of men 

 And walk into the lion's den 

  

 I think you know but you won't say 

 Just what it is makes life this way 

 But I'm not going to take this lying down 

  

 Reach for the stars retch for the earth 

 We took the earth and made it worse 

 And there was never any doubt 

 We ate it up we spat it out 

 And still we love to say we did it our way 

 On this voyage of discovery 

 I'm blinded by the things I see 

 I've seen before I'll see again 

 I'll look along a line of men 

 And fall into the lion's den 

  

 Now you can pray your head is bared 

 And I'm not saying I'm not scared 

 But I'm not going to take this lying down 

  

 I think you know but you won't say 

 Just what it is makes life this way 

 But I'm not going to take this lying down
