Don't Drag Me Down
Social Distortion
White Light White Heat White Trash
Children are taught to hate
Parents just couldn’t wait
Some are rich and some are poor
Others will just suffer more
Have you ever been ashamed
And felt society try to keep you down
I begin to watch things change and see
Them turn around
Turn around, they’ll try to keep you down
Turn around turn around don’t drag me down
Ignorence is like a gun in hand
Reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies
Media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
Have you ever been afraid
And felt society try to keep you down
I begin to watch things change and see
Them turn around
Turn around they’ll try to keep you down
Turn around turn around don’t drag me down
Ignorence is like a gun in hand
Reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies
Media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
You’re 18 you wanna be a man
Your grandaddy’s in the ku klux klan
Taking two steps forward and four steps back
I wanna go to the White House and paint it black
Turn around they’ll try to keep you down
Turn around
Turn around they’ll try to keep you down
Turn around don’t drag me down
