Can't Hold Me Down

One, two, three, come on!

Come on!

Lord, you can’t change the world
If you don’t try
For that I live
For that I die
Oh, when times get hard
You can’t give in
If you need somewhere
You got me my friend
Oh you’re gone

(Na na na, na na na)
(Na na na, na na na na)
Can’t hold me down
(Na na na, na na na)
(Na na na, na na na na)
Oh they wanna keep me down
(Na na na, na na na)
(Na na na, na na na na)
Oh they can’t hold me down
(Na na na, na na na)
(Na na na, na na na na)
They can’t keep me
(Na na na, na na)
(Na na na, na na)
(Na na na, na na)
(Na na na, na na)
(Na na na, na na)
(Na na na, na na)
(Lord knows!)
Lord, can’t keep me down
(Go be!)
Oh, can’t keep me down
(Whew!)

You want to keep your strength in
(Keep your strength in)
Then what do you do?
(What do you do?)
But happiness
(But happiness)
Oh, I know it’s free
(It’s free)
Don’t trust the darkness
(Trust the darkness)
Just do it right
(Just do it right)
Let it shine for the heartless
(Shine for the heartless)
Let it shine through the night
Lord!

(Na na na, na na na)
(Na na na, na na na na)
Can’t hold me down
(Na na na, na na na)
(Na na na, na na na na)
Oh they want to keep me down
(Na na na, na na na)
(Na na na, na na na na)
Oh they can’t hold me down
(Na na na, na na na)
(Na na na, na na na na)
They can’t keep me
(Na na na, na na)
(Na na na, na na)
(Na na na, na na)
(Na na na, na na)
(Na na na, na na)
(Na na na, na na)
(Lord knows!)
Lord, can’t keep me down
