This Is The New Breed Lyrics - Down By Law

somewhere in a cold jail cell 

is a man doing time, 

in a living hell 

for perjury 

but it's o.k. for billy 

somewhere is a young girl 

her life is forever swirled 

she's out of luck 

but it's o.k. for billy 

and so many pawns will fall 

for every king's stone wall 

i believe that we should strive 

for more 

obstruction, deception 

and still they blindly support him 

they've lowered the standards 

that they could've raised 

it's such a shame 

this is the new breed 

and i'm standing on my own 

i remember when 

there were democrats 

who stood tall and 

were cool cats 

now all i see are 

more suits and ties 

double standards, 

equivocate 

but even kings can get checkmate 

just be honest and show this 

king the door 

some say that it's just lies, but 

i think it's just trust 

and i believe that we should 

strive for more 

if he were in the g.o.p., 

you know that instantly 

they'd be lining up to fire 

but now they lowered the standards 

that they could've raised 

it's such a shame 

but this is the new breed 

for every little kid today 

who wonders why this one's o.k. 

well, kid these are double standards 

and this is the new breed 

and i'm standing on my own 

and maybe it's naive 

for someone to believe 

that there's a better way 

to run the show today 

but somewhere is a man or woman 

political in stripe 

whoe doesn't want to fall in line 

who'll say what's wrong is right 

and it's time to put it right 

the king should lose his crown 

this time 

who has the guts to say 

this thing is not o.k. 

for the sake of kings to come 

but now they lowered the standards 

that they could've raised 

it's such a shame 

this is the new breed 

for every little kid today 

who wonders why this one's o.k. 

well, kid these are double standards 

and this is the new breed 

this is the new breed 

well i'm standing on my own
