lyrics

DON’T LAY DOWN
1985

Modern problems in the modern world
Do they stand up to old fashion remedies?
Can you guess what’s going on?
Has it been programmed into memory?

(chorus) When you go running for that open door
After you bought up everything in the store
And you still haven’t got
What you came here for
You better start to
Dance and sing man, do anything man
Dance and sing but don’t lay down, not you
Dance and sing man, show them your thing man
Dance and sing, but don’t lay down, not you
Sow them a thing or two

With a flip of a page in the daily rag
You see what’s hip today turn obsolete
And the time it takes to draw another drag
You missed the bus; there it goes on down the street
(chorus)
