lyrics

Don’t Drag Me Down
Comp. M. J. Ness

Children are taught to hate,
Parents just couldn't wait
Some are rich and some are poor,
Others will just suffer more
Have you ever been ashamed?
And felt society try to keep you down?
I begin to watch things change
And see them turn around

[Chorus:]
Turn around, they'll try to keep you down
Turn around, turn around don't drag me down

Ignorance like a gun in hand,
Reach out to the Promised Land
Your history books are full of lies,
Media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
Have you ever been afraid?
And felt society try to keep you down?
I begin to watch things change
And see them turn around

[Chorus]

Ignorance like a gun in hand
Reach out to the Promised Land
Your history books are full of lies,
Media -blitz gonna dry your eyes
You’re eighteen wanna be a man
Your granddaddy's in the Ku Klux Klan
Taking two steps forward and four steps back
Gonna go to the white house and paint it black

[Chorus]
