Knocked Down, Made Small Lyrics - Singles - Was Not Was

My daddy took a look 

On the day that I was born 

And said he looks like corn 

And his feet are made of clay 

And then he walked away 

And when I began to crawl 

He knocked my head against the wall 

And said you're much to small 

And you don't get no ice cream 

Not even if you scream

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Don't you know that I was knocked down 

Made small 

Treated like a rubber ball 

On the day I turned sixteen 

I drove his car into the river 

He stood and watched me shiver 

As they dragged me to the shore 

Wouldn't look me in the eye no more 

When I finally hit the streets 

I had my share of hard defeats 

Every time I took a step 

I felt the shackles on my feet 

I was facing odds that I could never beat 

Don't you know that I was knocked down 

Made small 

Treated like a rubber ball 

Photos 

I finally woke up 

And put my conscience on the shelf 

I turned to crime 

Started living for myself 

Didn't care about no one else 

Don't you know that I was knocked down 

Made small 

Treated like a rubber ball
