Go Down Swingin' - Dirk Hamilton

Well they were all in cahoots with the cops

They kept him locked up in a box

'til he fell in with Goldilocks where they threw their receipts and their dirty socks

Then they strapped down in a bed

Shot him up 'til his body felt like lead

But the places he went in his head brought magic to the words that he said

Oh ... and he freed 'em all instead

When he told 'em to
Go Down Swingin'
Their swings made wings
Go Down Swingin'
Until the last bell rings
and Iron Mike Tyson taught them that
There isn't anybody who can't be knocked flat
But still they'll Go Down Swingin'
Swingin', swingin', swingin'

I'm feeling strong and terrified
As I watch the other guys
With their comfortable lives made of comfortable lies
With a comfortable woman who's a stranger by their side
But I'd rather be found dead in a ditch
Then to find my self livin' like this
I can understand seekin' out a shelter in a storm
But they trade away their freedom just so they can die warm
I don't wanna die warm

I wanna Go Down Swingin'
Let my swings make wings
Go Down Swingin'
With every song I sing
And I know that the truth has to talk for itself
And if I win this fight I know I'll lose somewhere else
But still, I will, Go Down Swingin'
