Kick You When You're Down - Machine Head

Love for my love

Hate for my hate

Strength for my strength and pain for my pain

Pride for my pride, match it inside

Trust that I find in you

But it’s hard and it’s brutal, its nasty and rude and

It’s dirty and mean when they treat you like yesterday’s news

They want to keep us all downtown, frowned, underground

But no one is keeping me down

Fuck no

I’ll keep my head up high

Cause they will always kick you when your down

Life for my life, soul for my soul

Truth for my truth and heart for my heart

Drive for my drive, match it inside

Fight for this fight and don’t you ever never

Give up, give up — you gotta play like a master of chess

It’s a long road and its a mental endurance stress test

Sometimes you fight and you win, sometimes you fight and

You lose

It’s the fighter in you

Not to lose

So keep your head high

Cause they will always kick you when your down

You have to trust in yourself

You must believe in yourself

You have to follow your heart

You overcome, improve, endure

Love for my love, hate for my hate

Strength for my strength and pain for my pain

Pride for my pride, match it inside

Keep up the drive and fight this fight

Because some shit ain’t right

Don’t lose our sight

Get our heads right

Shine our star too bright

Nothing in life is for sure

It’s just a gamble

So play it for all that it’s worth

And don’t forget to keep our heads high

Cause they will always kick you when you’re down

They will always kick you when you’re down

And don’t let their kicking get you down

You have to trust in yourself

You must believe in yourself

You have to follow your heart

You overcome, improve, endure
