Keep A Good Man Down Lyrics - Singles - Thornley

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
