Social Distortion - Don't Drag Me Down Lyrics






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 drag you down
turn around
turn around
don't drag me down

ignorance 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

ignorance 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 eighteen
wanna be a man
your granddaddy's in
the Klu Klux Klan
the President’s men, the CIA
mafia boss whose bribes you’ll pay, yeah

turn around
they’ll try to put you down
turn around

turn around
they’ll try to drag you down
turn around
don’t drag me down

    Fuck Dave Mirra.

  64. V.... ....

    I listened to this song with my friends all the time when we were young. Many times I dreamed of this awesome song, but I could not remember any words of this song...so hard to find it after all these years. But finally, German Radio Station brought me here.

  65. D.... L....

    When I saw Social Distortion live back in June 2013, lead singer Mike Ness said that the song is about racism in the south.

  66. S.... L....

    20 Years of listening to this song and it still has yet to be dethroned as my all time favorite, and Social D. isn't even my favorite band.
    Sure there's better songs out there. There are some absolutely powerful, awe inspiring lyrics, guitar riffs, and musical progressions.
    This song just speaks to me though. The older I get, the more I love it.

    S.... L....

    That's because the older it (and we) get the more true you can see it to be.

  67. D.... ....

    Ignorance like a golden ham

    Been listening to this song for almost 20 years and it still gives me fucking chills. Fuck this is an amazing song!

  70. A.... W....

    2018 anyone?

  71. W.... L....

    This song has a hook and is intense to say the least. Soc D is definitely my favorite band of all time. I just can't nail a favorite song. I hope I don't.

  72. J.... H....

    3:05 - 3:15 best guitar solo ever

    This song sounds like crap on the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus. But that's okay, because I am going to exchange it for another phone. :P

  81. T.... s....

    Mike Ness is a Hero and the definition of Real and down to earth, one of the last musicians that made music to talk about Important topics and give a voice to the voiceless, Not for fame with trash lyrics.
