Don't Let Them Take You Down

A new generation, and the whole world's shakin'

We were born in flames, maiden names

Suburban homes, make your bones

Bite your lip, take the fifth

Know your rights, it's your life now

Don't let them take you down

It's a beautiful day

Don't let 'them them take you down

It's a beautiful day

Hurricanes, love in vain

Murphy's law, days of war

Crash and burn, live and learn

Fill the void, girls and boys now

Don't let them take you down

It's a beautiful day

Don't let them them take you down

It's a beautiful day

All the people, all the people run

All the while we're tryin' to find the sun

It's a beautiful day

Don't let them take you down

It's a beautiful day

Don't let them mess you 'round

It's a beautiful day

Don't let them them take you down

It's a beautiful day

Don't let them take you down

A lost generation, now my whole world's shakin' uh-huh

Don't let them take you down

A bad reputation and a dime store nation uh-huh

Don't let them take you down

And when it's my generation, and the whole world is breakin' my heart

Don't let them take you down

A lost generation, and the whole world's shakin'
