Down By Law

Fly The Flag

Down By Law


pulverized 
cast aside 
but i survived 
now fly the flag 
criticized 
opened wide 
left to die 
now fly the flag 
brutalized 
cut down to size 
but i'll survive 
now fly the flag 
deified 
mystified 
crucified 
now fly the flag 
justified 
penalized 
but i survived 
now fly the flag 
learned to fight 
two black eyes 
but i'll survive 
now fly the flag 
all the things i thought i'd never be 
now it looks like they're all happening to me 
battlewise 
streetwise 
lies and lies 
now fly the flag 
lonely eyes 
on my own tonight 
but i'll survive 
now fly the flag 
hypnotize 
petrified 
but i'll survive 
now fly the flag 
glorified 
victimized 
but i'll survive 
now fly the flag 
all these things i thought i'd never be 
and it looks like they're all happening to me 
this one's for every lonely heart 
when they've got you beat before you start 
when it seems you're all alone 
you've got nowhere to go 
beaten down again 
don't let the bastards get you down 
get up tonight 
stand up tonight 
just don't let them keep you down 
and fly 
just fly 
now fly the flag
