lyrics

Well don’t let the bastards get you down
They’ll try to break you and bring your spirits down
But their cold and harsh demeanor
Will soon come back around
So don’t let the bastards get you down

Oh well my ex girl she was something to see
I tried my best to please her in any way I could see
But she clung to all my best friends
And she clung to my defeat
Oh well I’m so glad that she never clung to me

So don’t let the bastards get you down
They’ll try to fail you and bring your good heart down
But their voice will be forgotten
As quickly as they mock
And they will carry no soul in that big old wooden box

Have you ever been hurt, have you ever felt pain
Ever hit so hard you could no longer stand
Well I say to the offender
With what values still remain
That you’re not worth all the blood that’s in your veins

So don’t let the bastards get you down
They’ll try to break you and bring your spirits down
But their cold and harsh demeanor
Will soon come back around
So don’t let the bastards get you down
