Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And I rose to the top despite obstacles,
I see it for what it is despite opticals,
in shotgun when ridin' to the hospitals,
knowin' that anything in life is possible
so I wear a rosary, drinkin' holiest water,
while you see a hero, I see only a doctor,
a 'soul' deep like a shoe, too lonely to prosper,
bundles as rubber bands holding like lobster,
we're all screw-ups, call us action figures,
a silent childhood as we castin' pictures,
we all too stupid thinkin' we'll last in riches,
in death, the old will passes in bitches,
what happened to unity? you and me fight,
lookin' at passerbys like we use to be tight,
I don't even get a wink, not a sound, not a brow,
you can tell now, that I'm down and I'm out
---
[Chorus] x2
I Will Never Clown, I Will Never Doubt,
even when I'm Down & I'm Out,
{Down & Out}
I Will Never Frown, I Will Never Pout,
even when I'm Down & I'm Out,
{Down & Out}
Push away no problems, put em all on my back,
strengthen the muscles & broaden the calfs,
steppin' up eventhough I'm bound on a route-
where everyone says that I'm Down & I'm Out
---
[Verse 2]
I couldn't be touched or so I thunk,
but then the fire went up and burned the thumb,
we aint free you'll see when the earth is done,
we all pulled by strings til we turn to chum,
you can curse to the 'sun' but blame the dad,
'cause we really aint home til we hang the hat,
so you play with the math, take aim to that,
when the curtain's closed and we fade to black,
if I'm so worthless take my shoes, shove em on,
and wear the damn things til the rubbers gone,
you see but I can't blame if you stubborn, wrong,
unsure if I have a place where my love belongs,
I'll die lonely, heart slow with this cold beat,
hot hands, you'd swear to God I got cold feet,
how can we start a war to promote peace,
now we all gonna die from global warming
---
[Chorus] x2
---
[Verse 3]
in the corner where the cameras aint flashin,
figured I was done but I came back at him,
they call it an upset, I call it play action,
now I'm a role model, they say "take after him",
It's the middle of the night and my light is on,
I can't sleep & it's not being excited, nah,
been dreaming that I haven't really right my wrongs,
so this is a last letter when I write this song,
abide by or fall but you wouldn't want to either,
it's mass suicide when they follow the leader,
you can hide and get stuck in that hollow cedar,
or go in the trenches and lose all your features,
stubborn's leasure, holdin' Smirnoff liters,
starvin' atheists won't even swallow Jesus,
take ya nerve, gather up all those reasons,
but you can't overthrow it, ya got no treasons
---
[Chorus] x2
