Why You Gotta Kick Me When I'm Down?

i see you

you on the edge of your seat

ain't you got some place to be?

was hoping the suspense would kill you

tell me, how would you begin?

watching and waiting to sink your teeth in

come on and give me your expert opinion

ah, **** it

i settled down in a dump

heard a crowd screaming "jump"

so i came to the window

(they always wanna kick you when you're down)

i said "what the **** have i done?"

they said "we just want your blood"

"you know we like you better in limbo"

(they always wanna kick you when you're down)

so come on and take a shot

you just can't get enough

don't let the fact that you know nothing stop you talking now

cos when all is said and done

my name's still on your tongue

but tell me

why you gotta kick me when i'm down?

you better pray i don't get up this time around

and why you trying to put me in the ground?

don't you know i'm a seed?

i won't stop at the roof

go ahead, bury me

this is how i grow, it's how i thrive

so why you gotta kick me when i'm down?

why you gotta kick me when i'm down?

yeah, i know it's all in good fun but

don't say it's coming from love, no

i see those arms in akimbo

(they always wanna kick you when you're down)

and don't set that phaser to stun

cos what doesn't kill me, well, it better run like hell

yeah, you better run like hell

so come on and take a shot

you just can't get enough

don't let the fact that you know nothing stop you talking now

cos when all is said and done

my name's still on your tongue

so tell me

why you gotta kick me when i'm down?

you better pray i don't get up this time around

and why you trying to put me in the ground?

don't you know i'm a seed?

i won't stop at the roof

go ahead, bury me

this is how i grow, it's how i thrive

remember this line that you crossed

look back and stare at the dot

know there's no turning back now

now that you've opened the gates

corrupted the memory, error, failsafe

commence the countdown

(they always wanna kick you when you're down)

remember this line that you crossed

look back and stare at the dot

know there's no way to fix us, no

oh god, what the **** have you done?

i loved you like daughters, i loved you like sons

so tell me, yeah tell me

why you gotta kick me when i'm down?

you better pray i don't get up this time around

and why you trying to put me in the ground?

don't you know i'm a seed?

i won't stop at the roof

go ahead, bury me

this is how i grow, it's how i thrive

why you gotta kick me when i'm down?

but tell me, why you gotta kick me when i'm down?

(this is how i grow, it's how i thrive)
