why you gotta kick me when i'm down? lyrics

[Verse 1]

I see you, you on the edge of your seat

Ain't you got some place to be?

Was hoping the suspense would kill you

Tell me, how would you begin?

Watching and waiting to sink your teeth in

Come on and give me your expert opinion, ah, fuck it

I settle down in a dump

Heard a crowd screaming "Jump"

So I came to the window

(They always wanna kick you when you're down)

I said, "What the fuck have I done?"

They said, "We just want your blood

You know we like you better in limbo"

(They always wanna kick you when you're down)

[Pre-Chorus]

So come on and take a shot, you just can't get enough

Don't let the fact that you know nothing stop you talking now

'Cause when all is said and done, my name's still on your tongue

[Chorus]

But tell me, why you gotta kick me when I'm down?

You better pray I don't get up this time around (Ooh)

And why you tryna put me in the ground?

Don't you know I'm a seed? (I'm a seed) I won't stop at the roof

Go ahead, bury me; this is how I grow, it's how I thrive (Ooh)

So why you gotta kick me when I'm down? (Down)

(Why you gotta kick me when I'm down? Ooh)

[Verse 2]

Yeah, I know it's all in good fun, but

Don't say it's coming from love, no

I see those arms in akimbo

(They always wanna kick you when you're down)

And don't set that phaser to stun 'cause

What doesn't kill me, well, it better run like hell

Yeah, you better run like hell

[Pre-Chorus]

So come on and take a shot, you just can't get enough

Don't let the fact that you know nothing stop you talking now

'Cause when all is said and done, my name's still on your tongue

[Chorus]

So tell me, why you gotta kick me when I'm down?

You better pray I don't get up this time around (Ooh)

And why you tryna put me in the ground?

Don't you know I'm a seed? (I'm a seed) I won't stop at the roof

Go ahead, bury me; this is how I grow, it's how I thrive (Ooh)

[Bridge]

Remember this line that you crossed

Look back and stare at the dot

Know there's no turning back now

Now, that you've opened the gates

Corrupted the memory, error, failsafe

(Commence the countdown)

(They always wanna kick you when you're down)

Remember this line that you crossed

Look back and stare at the dot

Know there's no way to fix us (No)

Oh, God, what the fuck have you done?

I loved you like daughters, I loved you like sons

[Chorus]

So tell me, yeah tell me, why you gotta kick me when I'm down?

You better pray I don't get up this time around (Ooh)

And why you tryna put me in the ground?

Don't you know I'm a seed? (I'm a seed) I won't stop at the roof

Go ahead, bury me; this is how I grow, it's how I thrive (Ooh)

Why you gotta kick me when I'm down?

[Outro]

But tell me, why you gotta kick me when I'm down?

(This is how I grow, it's how I thrive)
