"Bring You Down" lyrics

Well, I've been working so hard every minute of the doggone day
And my rent's gone up and the boss won't raise my pay
I'd like to take my woman out for a night on the town
But I know that the man was made just to bring you down

I've been standing up for days and my feet and toes all ache
Working too hard, working too hard now
They got eyes on me, making sure I don't take a break
I'd like to see my baby walking to me in a wedding gown
But I know that the man was made just to bring you down

Bring you down
Yeah, yeah, he's gonna bring you down
Bring you down
Yeah, yeah, he's gonna bring you down
You know that the man was made just to bring you down

Well, I've been beaten down so black and blue, and now I'm feeling mean
Getting real mad, getting real mad
They're gonna take my job and give it to a metal machine
If I don't make some money soon, I don't know where I'm bound
All I know is that the man was made just to bring you down

Bring you down
Yeah, yeah, he's gonna bring you down
Bring you down
Yeah, yeah, he's gonna bring you down
You know that the man was made just to bring you down

I'm gonna get some guys together, gonna raise some hell
Hey, yeah-e-yeah
But the man's sniffing around and I'm afraid it's me he's gonna smell
I'm just sick and tired of being run straight into the ground
When I know that the man was made just to bring you down

Well, bring you down
Yeah, yeah, he's gonna bring you down
Bring you down
Yeah, yeah, he's gonna bring you down
Bring you down
Yeah, yeah, he's gonna bring you down
Bring you down
Yeah, yeah, he's gonna bring you down
Bring you down
Yeah, yeah, he's gonna bring you down
Bring you down
Yeah, yeah, he's gonna bring you down
You know that the man was made just to bring you down
