"Down" lyrics - OTEP

All my life I was told that I was evil
All my life I've been living illegal
I'm the one that they love to hate
'Cause I'm half Mark Twain and I'm half Jesse James
Words are my weapons to blow them away
More disciples with rifles than the NRA

They're playing checkers, I'm playing chess
A defiant mental giant, I'm nevertheless
When I trample examples of artificial success
They try to bring me down but I'm coming up

And it's never enough
Never enough

'Round and 'round and 'round
Straight to the bottom, yeah, it takes me down
'Round and 'round and 'round
Down

'Round and 'round and 'round
Stuck in my head, I can't escape that sound
'Round and 'round and 'round
Down motherfucker, yeah, it takes me down

If the people are sheep, don't blame the shepherd
If knowledge is cheap I should be an investor
You're the common in the knowledge that I already know
Just a common in the sentence that I already wrote
It's like history's written in invisible ink
So they can own the throne and everything'll repeat
In the kingdom of lies, the best that money can buy
I was born to destroy but I live to defy

Never enough
Never enough

'Round and 'round and 'round
Straight to the bottom, yeah, it takes me down
'Round and 'round and 'round
Down

'Round and 'round and 'round
Stuck in my head, I can't escape that sound
'Round and 'round and 'round
Down, motherfucker, yeah, it takes me down

I'm the devil you know and I'm the devil you don't
'Cause you can't command what you can't control
No, you can't command what you can't control
No, you can't command what you can't control

'Round and 'round and 'round
Straight to the bottom, yeah, it takes me
'Round and 'round and 'round
Down

'Round and 'round and 'round
Stuck in my head, I can't escape that sound
'Round and 'round and 'round
Down

'Round and 'round and 'round
I was born to destroy but I live to defy
'Round and 'round and 'round
Down, motherfucker, yeah, it takes me
