"Don't Let The Bastards (Get You Down)"
By Kris Kristoffferson

(Third World Warrior )

They?re killing babies in the name of freedom.
We?ve been down that sorry road before.
They let us hang around a little longer than they should?ve.
It?s too late to fool us anymore.

We?ve seen the ones, who killed the ones with vision,
Cold blooded murder right before your eyes
Today they hold the power, and the money, and the guns.
It?s getting hard to listen to their lies.

I just gotta wonder what my daddy would?ve done,
If he?d seen the way they turned his dream around.
I?ve gotta go by what he told me:
"Try to tell the truth and stand your ground.
Don?t let the bastards get you down."

Mining roads?
Killing farmers?
Blowing up schools? full of children
Fighting communism?

I just gotta wonder what my daddy would?ve done
If he?d seen the way they turned his dream around.
I?ve gotta go by what he told me:
"Try to tell the truth and stand your ground.
Don?t let the bastards get you down."
