The Fratellis - They Go Down lyrics

Well, I was born inside a fire On the coattails of desire I was orphaned in the flood I was taken for a ride My teams came crashing to the ground I was defeated by the sound They go down They go down They go down, down, down They go down They go down They go down I was denied and I was sold I was kept out in the cold Well, there was never any doubt That I believed what I was told But all the time that I was looking There was nothing to be found They go down They go down They go down, down, down They go down They go down They go down I never knew a single friend Who didn't crumble in the end I didn't bargain for control I didn't break up in bed With every weapon that they found They tried to send me to the ground They go down They go down They go down, down, down They go down They go down They go down Well, I was invincible and weird I was ignored and I was feared I stood all that I could stand 'Til their faces disappeared I was only half alive There was no one else around They go down They go down They go down, down, down They go down They go down They go down I never cracked a smile 'Til my circus all left town Even when I swam to glory I was sure to drown Praying hard for my breakdown Praying hard for my breakdown Praying hard for my breakdown Praying hard for my breakdown Look at me now Look at me now Look at me now Look at me now Look at me now Look at me now Look at me now Look at me now Look at me now Look at me now Look at me now Look at me now Look at me now Look at me now Well, I was incurable and vain A lunatic out in the rain I was beautiful and unctuous I was shackled to the chain And I would scream 'til they agreed That only half the world was round They go down They go down They go down, down, down They go down They go down They go down, down, down They go down They go down They go down, down, down They go down They go down They go down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down, Down, down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down, Down, down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down, Down, down, down, down, down They go down They go down They go down
