Down and Out

Savage Messiah

DOWN AND OUT 
What is a test of virtue? 
The standards we must find 

Instead, the shackles hurt you 
But never dealt in kind 

Dealt in kind 

Stern are the eyes that search you 
To measure your design 

Alone with jackals turn to 
The depths you'll search inside 

Search inside 

Down and Out 
No small mercy found 
It's like life conspires to confound 
Down and Out 
Just the worthy crowned 
But for those outsiders no rebound 
You'll stay 
Down and Out 
No rules the flock desert you 
With slander always primed 

It's like they never heard you 
Your status is declined 

Now declined 

Down and Out 
No small mercy found 
It's like life conspires to confound 
Down and Out 
Just the worthy crowned 
But for those outsiders no rebound 
You'll be 
Down and Out 

Down and Out 
No small mercy found 
It's like life conspires to confound 
Down and Out 
Just the worthy crowned 
But for those outsiders no rebound 
Only 
Down and Out
