Don't Drag Me Down (Album Version)

Dont drag me down
Social Distortion

Children are taught to hate,
parents just couldnt 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

Turn around, theyll try to keep you down
Turn around, Turn around

Dont 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 see them turn around
Turn around, theyll try to keep you down
Turn around, Turn around

Dont 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
Youre eighteen wanna be a man
Your granddaddys in the Ku Klux Klan
Taking two steps forward
and four steps back
Gonna go to the White House
and paint it black

Turn around, theyll try to keep you down
Turn around
Turn around, theyll try to keep you down
Turn around

Dont drag me down
