Down by Law

Down by Law - This Is The New Breed lyrics

somewhere in a cold jail cell

is a man doing time,

in a living hell

for perjury

but it's o.k. for billy

somewhere is a young girl

her life is forever swirled

she's out of luck

but it's o.k. for billy

and so many pawns will fall

for every king's stone wall

i believe that we should strive

for more

obstruction, deception

and still they blindly support him

they've lowered the standards

that they could've raised

it's such a shame

this is the new breed

and i'm standing on my own

i remember when

there were democrats

who stood tall and

were cool cats

now all i see are

more suits and ties

double standards,

equivocate

but even kings can get checkmate

just be honest and show this

king the door

some say that it's just lies, but

i think it's just trust

and i believe that we should

strive for more

if he were in the g.o.p.,

you know that instantly

they'd be lining up to fire

but now they lowered the standards

that they could've raised

it's such a shame

but this is the new breed

for every little kid today

who wonders why this one's o.k.

well, kid these are double standards

and this is the new breed

and i'm standing on my own

and maybe it's naive

for someone to believe

that there's a better way

to run the show today

but somewhere is a man or woman

political in stripe

whoe doesn't want to fall in line

who'll say what's wrong is right

and it's time to put it right

the king should lose his crown

this time

who has the guts to say

this thing is not o.k.

for the sake of kings to come

but now they lowered the standards

that they could've raised

it's such a shame

this is the new breed

for every little kid today

who wonders why this one's o.k.

well, kid these are double standards

and this is the new breed

this is the new breed

well i'm standing on my own
