[Verse 1]
If this is what it is
And if that's what we're about
Where we never break the rules
And we never let it out

[Chorus]
It's soul killing
Might as well shoot me down
Might as well shoot me down
It's soul killing
Might as well shoot me down
Might as well shoot me

[Verse 2]
If you always have to wait
Well, then this moment will be gone
Is this what you really want?
You should never say never, never ever, come on

[Bridge]
They could never hold us down, they can never hold us down
If you're from a big city or you're from a little town
They can never hold us down
(Shoot straight to the heart)
[Verse 3]
Stroll on straight down the middle
Stand up, straight as a ruler
Honest act like a diamond
It's best even if falling
Than if you're constantly stalling
Honest shine like a diamond

[Chorus]
It's soul killing
Might as well shoot me down
Might as well shoot me down
It's soul killing
Might as well shoot me down
Might as well shoot me
It's soul killing
(They could never hold us down, they can never hold us down)
Might as well shoot me down
Might as well shoot me down
It's soul killing
(If you're from a big city or you're from a little town)
Might as well shoot me down
Might as well shoot me
It's soul
(They could never hold us down, they can never hold us down)
(If you're from a big city or you're from a little town)
