Keep Swinging (Blitz Kids)

I woke up for another nightmare With nobody there to calm my nerve Just a vision of two summers playing stateside It seems such like another world They tell me sit down and hush, hush This is how the world works They tell me sit down and hush, hush You'll die like everybody else They say you're only a kid and you'll forget it They're too scared to notice When you're down, keep swinging 'Cause life is a mystery You never know when you're gonna hit When you're down, keep swinging 'Cause life is a mystery But you have to face it on your own So keep swinging So wake up and bring me daylight Bring me back to where I used to live Growing up with everybody on my shoulders So much farther to fall now I'm older They tell me sit down and hush, hush This is how the world works They tell me sit down and hush, hush You'll die like everybody else When you're down, keep swinging 'Cause life is a mystery You never know when you're gonna hit When you're down, keep swinging 'Cause life is a mystery But you have to face it on your own So keep swinging So live your life Just make the best of what you can You'll finish off the rest with no regrets I need to convince myself That I'm gonna die like everybody else That I'm gonna die like everybody else When you're down, keep swinging 'Cause life is a mystery You never know when you're gonna hit When you're down, keep swinging 'Cause life is a mystery But you have to face it on your own But you have to face it on your own So keep swinging
