Don't Let Them Take You Down

Jesse Malin

A new generation and the whole world's shakin' 

We wereborn in flames, maiden names 
Suburban homes, make your bones 
Bite your lip, take the fifth 
Know your rights, its your life now 
Don't let them take you down 
Its a beautiful day 
Don't let them take you down 
Its a beautiful day 

Hurricanes, love in vain 
Murphy's law,days of war 
Crash and Burn, live and learn 
Fill the void,girls and boys now 
Don't let them take you down 
Its a beautiful day 
Don't let them take you down 

All the people, all the people run 
All the while were trying to find the sun 
Its a beautiful day 
Don't let them take you down 
its a beautiful day 
Don't let them mess you round 
Its a beautiful day 
Don't let them take you down 
Its a beautiful day 
Don't let them take you down 

A lost generation and the whole world is shakin ah ha, 
don't let them take you down 
A bad reputation and a dime store nation ah ha, 
don't let them take you down 
And its my generation and the world is breakin' my 
heart, 
don't let them take you down 
A lost generation and the whole world's shakin'
