Kicking Me While I'm Down

VERSE 1

Cheap shot, money shot, what’s the difference?

They both chip away at someone’s innocence

Brick by brick, my foundation crumbles down

The rubble on my carcass weighs a million pounds

Even when life itself has passed me the fuck by

I keep asking myself again what’s the reason why?

Why are these steel toed boots kicking my ribs?

Why is negativity all these fuckers have to give?

CHORUS 1

You’re kicking me while I’m down!

In the head! In the balls!

You’re kicking me while I’m down!

It’s funny as shit when I slip and fall!

VERSE 2

One final pulse beats through my broken body

Yet none of you clowns have found a new hobby

Kicking me around like you own the damn town

And here I thought this ended after the final round

CHORUS 2

You’re kicking me while I’m down!

In the teeth! In the ass!

You’re kicking me while I’m down!

You’ve got no soul! You’ve got no class!

BRIDGE

Maybe if I pull myself up by the bootstraps

Walk a hundred more miles to fill the gaps

Stretch myself a little thinner every day

You’d kick me when I’m down anyway

CHORUS 3

You’re kicking me while I’m down!

In the jaw! In the gut!

You’re kicking me while I’m down!

Giving me bruises! Opening cuts!

You’re kicking me while I’m down!

In the shins! In the ribs!

You’re kicking me while I’m down!

If I’m going to hell, I’m taking you with!
