The standards we must find Instead the shackles hurt you But never dealt in kind Dealt in kind Stern are the eyes that search you To measure your design Alone with jackals turn to The depths you'll search inside Search inside Down and out No small mercy found It's like life conspires to confound Down and out Just the worthy crowned But for those outsiders no rebound You'll stay down and out No rules the flock desert you With slander always primed It's like they never heard you Your status is declined Now declined Down and out No small mercy found It's like life conspires to confound Down and out Just the worthy crowned But for those outsiders no rebound You'll be down and out Down and out No small mercy found It's like life conspires to confound Down and out Just the worthy crowned But for those outsiders no rebound Only down and out Down and out
