Keep Your Head Down

There were a couple of toes stepped on

But hey they did it in style

Don't hold your breath for sympathy

'Cause they been at it now for quite a while

The room was lit by a television screen

And demeanors were all the same

The music wailed from places unknown

While I only had myself to blame

And those who moved so seriously

Gave distractions for us not to think

Excuse myself from conversation

While I left to get another drink

You know I know you know you're different kid

But it doesn't make the scene alright

And if you still insist on bargaining

Then we'll be here for the rest of the night

It doesn't matter that you don't see them

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

Humiliation will get you far

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You're only here

'Cause there was nothing else to do

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

It doesn't matter now

It doesn't matter now

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

The scent of guilt was drawing closer to me

A smoky haze descended on us all

While pictures of original sin

Had arranged themselves upon the walls

Some day we'll speak of the good old days

The golden stories that we all believe

I hope it makes them miserable

That their goals in life were never achieved

You know I know you know you're different kid

But it doesn't make the scene alright

And if you still insist on bargaining

Then we'll be here for the rest of the night

It doesn't matter that you don't see them

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

Humiliation will get you far

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You're only here

'Cause there was nothing else to do

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

It doesn't matter now

It doesn't matter now

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You know I know you know you're different kid

But it doesn't make the scene alright

And if you still insist on bargaining

Then we'll be here for the rest of the night

You know I know you know you're different kid

But it doesn't make the scene alright

And if you still insist on bargaining

Then we'll be here for the rest of the night

It doesn't matter that you don't see them

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

Humiliation will get you far

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You're only here

'Cause there was nothing else to do

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

It doesn't matter now

It doesn't matter now

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down

You keep your head down
