[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
