Knock Us Down Lyrics - The Sweetest Condition

We've always lived inside the lines— 

Right wing, Left hook — clouding our minds, 

Holding us back, but not this time. 

We were raised 

on confusion, 

products of misinformation. 

Never got our 

story straight. 

This time— 

it's too late. 

We're drowning in our 

discontent. 

I don't trust the 

government. 

It's a 

conspiracy. You 

only know 

what they want you to see! 

Knock us down, 

but we're still standing! 

Knock us down, 

but we're still standing! 

You don't control us with your fear. 

We won't submit and disappear. 

We were raised on 

promises. 

So I picket the whitewash 

fences. 

Nothing's ever 

as it seems. 

I don't want 

the American Dream. 

You surrender 

all you are— 

only living 

from afar. 

But I'll make 

my own way. For- 

get tomorrow. 

Live for today! 

Knock us down, 

but we're still standing! 

Knock us down, 

but we're still standing! 

We were raised on 

promises. 

So I picket the whitewash 

fences. 

Nothing's ever 

as it seems. 

I don't want 

the American Dream. 

You surrender 

all you are— 

only living 

from afar. 

But I'll make 

my own way. For- 

get tomorrow. 

Live for today! 

Knock us down, 

but we're still standing! 

Knock us down, 

but we're still standing!
