Don't Let 'em Take You Down Lyrics - Jesse Malin

A new generation, now my whole world shakin' 

We were born in flames, maiden names 

Suburban homes, make your bones 

Bite your lip, take the fifth 

Know your rights, it's your life now 

Don't let them take you down 

It's a beautiful day 

Don't let 'them them take you down 

It's 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 

It's a beautiful day 

Don't let them them take you down 

It's a beautiful day 

All the people, all the people run 

All the while we're tryin' to find the sun 

It's a beautiful day 

Don't let them take you down 

It's a beautiful day 

Don't let 'them mess you 'round 

It's a beautiful day 

Don't let them them take you down 

It's a beautiful day 

Don't let them take you down 

A lost generation, now my whole world is shakin' round 

Don't let them take you down 

A bad reputation and a dime store nation now 

Don't let them take you down 

And when it's my generation, now my whole world is breakin' my heart 

Don't let them take you down 

A lost generation, now my whole world shakin'
