Lyrics

[Chorus]
Down on me
Down on me
Looks like everybody in this whole round world
They're down on me
[Verse 1]
Love in this world is so hard to find
When you got yours and I got mine
That's why it looks like everybody in this whole round world
They're down on me
[Chorus]
Saying they're down on me
Down on me
Looks like everybody in this whole round world
Down on me
[Verse 2]
When you see a hand that's held out toward you
Give it some love, someday it may be you
That's why it looks like everybody in this whole round world
They're down on me, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh Lord, they're down on me
Down on me, oh
Looks like everybody in this whole round world
They're down on me
[Verse 3]
Believe in your brother, have faith in man
Help each other, honey, if you can
'Cause it looks like everybody in this whole round world
They're down on me
[Chorus]
I'm saying they're down on me
Oh, down on me, oh
Looks like everybody in this whole round world
Down on me
Written by: Janis Joplin, [traditional]
