Keep A Good Man Down Lyrics

Keep A Good Man Down lyrics

I know this comes as no surprise

But the wool's been pulled over our eyes for years, my dear

And all the while we sit with our legs crossed

As some poor bastard finds he's lost ten years



That's just another day I live inside my head

I'm tired of all the ways that I wish I was dead

It's been so many years I've finally figured out a way

To keep a good man down (down)

Oh, keep a good man down (down)



I locked you up and threw away

The key to all your better days, my bad, my friend

There's so many things you'll never be

Many things you'll never have, so sad, oh well



That's just another day I live inside my head

I'm tired of all the ways that I wish I was dead

It's been so many years I've finally figured out a way

To keep a good man down (down)

Oh, keep a good man down (down)



As you're floating through the paces of your day

There's a burning need to get yourself away

Everywhere temptation starts to breed

The things you know you'll never need

To satisfy that greed

Satisfy that greed



I know this comes as no surprise

But the wool's been pulled over our eyes for years, my dear



That's just another day I live inside my head

I'm tired of all the ways that I wish I was dead

It's been so many years I've finally figured out a way

To keep a good man down (down)

Yeah, keep a good man down (down)

Oh, keep a good man down (down)

Yeah, keep a good man down (down)
