Don't Drag Me Down Lyrics - White Light, White Heat, White Trash - Social Distortion

Children are taught to hate 

Parents just couldn't 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 

They'll try to keep you down 

Turn around, turn around 

Don't 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 

And see them turn around 

Turn around 

They'll try to keep you down 

Turn around, turn around 

Don't 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 

You're eighteen, wanna be a man 

Your granddaddy's 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 

They'll try to keep you down 

Turn around 

Turn around 

They'll try to keep you down 

Turn around 

Don't drag me down
