Kris Kristofferson - Don't Let The Bastards Get You Down

Don't Let The Bastards Get You Down

They're killing babies in the name of Freedom
We've been down that sorry road before
They let us hang around a little longer than they should have
And it's too late to fool us anymore

We've seen the ones who killed the ones with vision
Cold-blooded murder right before your eyes
Today they hold the power and the money and the guns
It's getting hard to listen to their lies.

And I've just got to wonder what my Daddy would've done
If he'd seen the way they turned his dream around
I've got to go by what he told me, try to tell the truth
And stand your ground
DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN

"Mining roads
Killing farmers
Burning down schools full of children
Fighting communism"

And I've just got to wonder what my Daddy would've done
If he'd seen the way they turned his dream around
I've got to go by what he told me, try to tell the truth
And stand your ground
DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN


Obs.: Em uma versão mais recente ele mudou a letra da parte falada por:
"Bombin' Baghdad back into the stone age, 'round the clock non-stop for 40 days, killed 'em in their homes and on their highways. Now after a decade of cripplin' sanctions we're talkin' about goin' back in there and doin' it all over again, fightin' terrorism."
