[Verse 1]

I've been touched by many men

And I truly take offense

At words expressed by poets

And deluded pens

[Chorus]

Are you down tonight?

Are you down tonight?

Are you down tonight?

Are you down tonight?

[Verse 2]

I've met girls with power

And I truly take offense

At our endorsing thinkers

Who claim skin matters

[Verse 3]

I have seen myself too many times

For me not to take offense

It seems I am the only one

With integrity

[Chorus]

Are you down tonight?

Are you down tonight?

Are you down tonight?

Are you down tonight?

[Bridge]

It's a foul stench of distrust

As I have sold myself cheaply

What you welcome is a beating

By what you always have looked down upon

[Chorus 2]

I would love to but I can't

I would love to but I can't

I would love to but I can't

I would love to but I can't

[Verse 4]

Patterns hard as rock appear

And I truly take offense

At our romanticizing

Of this pounding flesh

[Verse 5]

In the wetlands where I found myself

I did truly take offense

At people's glorifying

What we call human

[Chorus]

Are you down tonight?

Are you down tonight?

Are you down tonight?

Are you down tonight?

[Outro]

It's a foul stench of distrust

As I have sold myself cheaply

What you welcome is a beating

By what you always have looked down upon
