Verse:
- I’ve been beaten! I’ve been laid to the floor.
They’re all hoping, I can’t take no more.
I won’t let the man, come drag me down.
If it’s war he wants, I can go twelve rounds.
Chorus:
Boy look up, don’t you ever look down.
Girl look up, don’t you ever look down.
People look up, don’t you ever look down.
Cause you’re finding your own way,
don’t let another man lead you astray and pull you down.
Verse:
- Selfish politicians, letting us down!
Bankers getting all rich, pushing us around!
Insurer man, he wants to rule our lives.
It’s a call to us, if they want a fight.
Chorus:
Boy look up, don’t you ever look down.
Girl look up, don’t you ever look down.
People look up, don’t you ever look down.
Cause you’re finding your own way,
don’t let another man lead you astray and pull you down.
Verse:
- When will we learn, we have the power to fight.
They need control of the masses, to use us right.
Well I won’t play, it’s time we use our might.
People get together, we’re going to fight.
Chorus:
Boy look up, Don’t you ever look down.
Girl look up, don’t you ever look down.
People look up, don’t you ever look down.
No, No violence ain’t the way,
don’t let another man lead you astray and pull you down.
