Let You Down Lyrics

The Dead Men

Verse 1:
You have to do, what I ask of you/
And there's a task I have for you
Tackle a track with a rap and attack/
With your natural knack and your aptitude
You do that, I ain't mad at you/
I'll pat your back and say, “That'll do”
Then just sit back and then when you think back/
You'll be happy you did what you had to do
‘Cause you are gifted/
Can't bus tables, too artistic
It's too sadistic, to ever think that/
You could ever become another statistic
This is kismet, you gotta foster/
All the shit that, you got to offer
You got a lot to, so you oughtta/
Remember what you got before you forgot to
But you wanna be forgotten/
And don't wanna be reminded
And don't wanna put the time in/
When a rhyme needs redefining
Fine then, but I'm trying/
To figure out why you're not trying
Try to speak to you, ‘bout unspeakable/
Things, but you keep trying to hide them
When you gotta let go, tell me/
What in the fuck you're upset for?
When you've been given any and every/
Amenity from the get go
What in the hell ever made you/
Anything other than grateful
Or made you behave in a way that was/
Anything other than utterly thankful, huh?

Chorus 1:
Running... Along/
Going... Alone
I won't let you down (2X)

Verse 2:
People are strange and I'm becoming a stranger/
So I'm running away, ‘cause I got nothing to stay for
All I want is a change, ‘cause I don't think I can take more/
Need I really have to explain more?... OK we're
All on our own, getting farther from home/
And embarking on different chapters, and there's
Factors that dictate whether we move/
Forwards or go backwards, that ain't
Under our jurisdiction, what a wonderful we live in/
Where we wish for an existence other than the one we're given
Given all the shit we been in/
We should be living with no regrets
But I've seen more, than I can ignore/
So I can forgive but I won't forget
I'm the best at holding grudges, I won't let you go unpunished/
‘Cause you lied when you professed and attested to no injustice
You gotta fight for the lost lives/
That got lost and discarded and tossed into boxes of archives
Left there to rot, forever forgotten/
Just ‘cause they'd fallen on hard times
So if you're sinking I won't ever let you drown/
‘Cause G-d may let you die, but I will never let you down, no

Chorus 2:
Running... Along/
Going... Alone
I won't let you down (2X)
