Don't Let The Bastards Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

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 have 

And 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. 

Chorus: 

And I've just got to wonder what my daddy would've done 

If he'd seen the way they turned his dream around 

I've got to 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 

Burning down schools full of children 

Fighting communism

Chorus: 

And I've just got to wonder what my daddy would've done 

If he'd seen the way they turned his dream around 

I've got to go by what he told me, try to tell the truth 

And stand your ground 

Don't let the bastards get you down
