Michelle Malone - Down Lyrics

The men who run my country are running her into the ground
A ship lost on the ocean caught in a storm and tumbling down
Down like corporate bowling pins
Down like door-to-door salesmen Down
Down like Peter to pay Paul Down

Down oiling the devil's paw

Elected officials prostituting for the highest contribution
behind closed doors looking for new ways to interpret the constitution

Down-sizing the public trust
Down in big businesses clutch- Down

Down like Bonnie's down with Clyde
Down like gasoline in fire- Down

Down the worm goes in the wood

Down there goes the neighborhood Down

Down, the death nail in the box

Down, the children in Iraq Down

Down like jet planes in the sky
Down like smoke gets in your eyes Down
Down like soldiers in the sand

Down like we were in Vietnam- Down

Ooooooo, Ooooooo"
