Keep Swinging - Blitz Kids

I woke up from another nightmare

With nobody there to calm my nerve

Just a vision of two summers playing stateside

It seems like such another world

They tell you sit down and hush, hush

This is how the world works

They tell you sit down and hush, hush

You’ll die like everybody else

They say you’re only a kid you’ll forget it

They’re too scared to notice

When you’re down, keep swinging

Because life is a mystery

You never know when you’re gonna hit

When you’re down, keep swinging

Because life is a mystery

But you’ve to face it your own

So keep swinging

So wake me up and bring me daylight

Bring me back to where I used to live

Growing up with everybody on my shoulders

It’s so much farther to fall now that I’m older

They told me sit down and hush, hush

This is how the world works

They tell you sit down and hush, hush

You’ll die like everybody else

When you’re down keep swinging

Because life is a mystery

You never know when you’re gonna hit

When you’re down, keep swinging

Because life is a mystery

But you’ve got to face it on your own

So keep swinging

So live your life

Just make the best of what you can

Finish up the rest and know the pain

I need to convince myself that I’m gonna die like everybody else

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

Because life is a mystery

You never know when you’re gonna hit (Keep Swinging, Keep Swinging)

When you’re down, keep swinging

Because life is a mystery

But you’ve got to face it on your own (So keep swinging)

But you’ve got to face it on your own

So keep swinging
