I know this comes as no surprise
But the world's been pulled over our eyes for years, my dear
And all the while we sit with our legs crossed
As some poor bastard finds he's lost ten years
That's just another day, I live inside my head
I'm tired of all the ways and I wish I was dead
It's been so many years, I've finally figured out a way
To keep a good man down, down, oh keep a good man down, down
I locked you up and threw away the key
To all your better days, my bad, my friend
There's so many things you'll never be
Many things you'll never have, so sad, oh well
That's just another day, I live inside my head
I'm tired of all the ways and I wish I was dead
It's been so many years, I've finally figured out a way
To keep a good man down, down, oh keep a good man down, down
As you're floating through the paces of your day
There's a burning need to get yourself away
Everywhere temptation starts to breed
The things you know, you'll never need
Satisfy that greed, satisfy that greed
I know this comes as no surprise
But the world's been pulled over our eyes for years, my dear
That's just another day, I live inside my head
I'm tired of all the ways and I wish I was dead
It's been so many years, I've finally figured out a way
To keep a good man down, down, yeah keep a good man down, down
Oh, keep a good man down, down, yeah, keep a good man down, down
