Down Lyrics - Generation Doom - Otep

All my life 

I was told that I was evil. 

All my life 

I've been living illegal 

I'm the one they love to hate 

Cause I'm half Mark Twain, 

I'm half Jesse James. 

Words are my weapons 

To blow them away. 

More disciples with rifles 

Than the NRA 

They're playing checkers 

I'm playing chess 

A defiant mental giant 

I'm never the less 

When I trample examples 

Of artificial success 

But I'm coming up 

And it's never enough 

Never enough 

Round and round and round 

Straight to the bottom 

Yeah it takes me down 

Round and round and round 

DOWWWWWWN! 

Round and round and round 

Stuck in my head 

I can't escape that sound 

Round and round and round 

Down mother fucker 

Yeah it takes me.... 

Down. 

If the people are sheep 

Don't blame the shepherd 

If knowledge is cheap 

I should be an investor 

You're the common in the knowledge 

That I already know 

Just a comma in the sentence 

That I already wrote 

It's like history is written on invisible ink 

So they can own the throne 

And everything'll repeat. 

In the kingdom of lies 

The best that money can buy 

I was born to destroy 

But I live to defy 

Never enough 

Never enough 

Round and round and round 

Straight to the bottom 

Yeah it takes me down 

Round and round and round 

DOWWWWWWN! 

Round and round and round 

Stuck in my head 

I can't escape that sound 

Round and round and round 

Down mother fucker 

Yeah it takes me.... 

Down. 

I'm the devil you know 

And I'm the devil you don't 

Cause you can't command 

What you can't control 

No 

You can't command 

What you can't control. 

No 

You can't command what you can't control 

Round and round and round 

Straight to the bottom 

Yeah it takes me down 

Round and round and round 

DOWWWWWWN! 

Round and round and round 

Stuck in my head 

I can't escape that sound 

Round and round and round 

DOWWWWWWN! 

Round and round and round 

I was born to destroy 

But I live to defy 

Round and round and round 

Down mother fucker! 

Yeah, it takes me....
