Hold Us Down by The Del Fuegos Lyrics

I stayed awake last week
I tossed and turned but I couldn’t get to sleep
Strange voices I hear
Out in the alley, out in the street

All around
We got people trying to hold us down

He said he’d leave you alone
He said he would, but I know he won’t
I’ve seen this kind of thing before
Letter, phone call, knock on the door

All around
We got people trying to hold us
Hold us down
Hold us down
Hold us down
I can feel better now that you’re around, yeah

These are not easy times
Everybody’s pushing to the front of the line
Come on man, just let us be
Can’t you see we’re trying for a little piece of mind?
All around
We got people trying to hold us
But I got you
I know we can help each other
If they hold us down
Hold us down
Hold us down
I can feel better having you around, hey
Hold us down
Hold us down
Hold us down
I can feel better knowing you’re around, hey
