[Verse 1]

I try again

I study the pattern

I see the triggers

But I can't shake 'em loose

And all of my anger

You take on the chin

[Chorus]

And I get you down

I get you down

I get you down

[Verse 2]

I never fought back

Just stood there humiliated

From the schoolyard to home

On the streets that we roam

[Chorus]

And now I get you down

I catch myself in a mirror

See a pathetic little boy

Who's come to get you down

Get you down

Get you down

Get you down

[Bridge]

I watch you sleep

With eyes of contempt

Those eyes were meant for myself

[Chorus]

But tonight, tonight I'm gonna get you down

I catch myself in a mirror

See a pathetic little boy

Who's come to get you down

Get you down

Get you down

Get you down

Get you down

Get you down

Get you down

Get you down

Get you down

Get you down

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
