I stripped my faith on the city pavements
To keep a smile
I got my legs from the US Government
To keep me aliveWe are the ones that keep you down
We are the ones that won the grounds
While our arms surroundI filled my head with another replacement
To keep me high
I shot my soul when you wanted to take this
Your worst day's mineWe are the ones that keep you high
We are the ones that won the sky
With the bird and the fliesShe's my river of sunshine
She's my girl
She can save the US
Save the worldShe's all right
I'll be fine
These knew you whips
Save your mind, come onI maybe nothing if you're just gonna waste me
But that's all right
I'll give you love if you wanna to taste that
And leaves you behindWe are the ones that keep you high
We are the ones that burn your pride
And you're burning in criesYou're gonna suffer
You're gonna sufferYou're gonna make it
You're gonna suffer
You're gonna make it
You're gonna sufferYou're gonna make it
You're gonna suffer
You're gonna make it
You're gonna sufferYou're gonna make it
You're gonna suffer
You're gonna make it
You're gonna suffer
