Well, I win some and I lose some
But I lose more than I should
And every time the light shined in my direction
I just couldn't seem to make good

I missed all my shots and I blew all my parts
And I wasted all my time
No meaning, no feeling
No reason, no rhyme

Now ***holes live in castles
And maggots live in my brain
And it just isn't worth the h***le
To continue in this vein

Where everyone's searchin'
And the whole scene is hurtin'
And we're not very good
Where the money is lousy
And the drinks are expensive
And I'm living in a bad neighborhood

Don't stop kicking me down
Don't stop kicking me down
Don't stop kicking me down
You've got to do it because it feels good

Of course we're all very impressed with your face
You've got the sea salt in your eyes
You say we're not quite California
So when we fail it will be no surprise

So easy to toss aside your own perfect alibi
It's so easy, you see
If you don't stop your hitting
If you don't stop your kicking
Hell, I may never ever leave

Don't stop kicking me down
Don't stop kicking me down
Don't stop kicking me down
You've got to do it because it feels good

Am I speaking my mind again?
Are you listening to me?
Hey, I am talking to you
Hey, I am talking to you
Hey, I am talking to you

Don't stop kicking me down
Don't stop kicking me down
Don't stop kicking me down
Don't stop kicking
Oh, don't stop your kicking, kicking me down
You're kicking me down
