Not Gonna Bow - Russ Taff

Ninety feet tall and nine feet wide

Solid gold — «It must be a god!»

They were told

«When you hear the music play

Fall on your knees and begin to pray»

They were told

But when the trumpet sounded

The whole world bowed

Three men stood there all alone

They said

Not gonna bow to your idols

Not gonna bow, oh no

Not gonna bow to your idols

I won’t bow down

All Bobby wanted was just to fit in

To be accepted he must act like them

He said «No!»

«Everybody does it!

So, what’s the fuss?

Come on, Bobby, won’t’cha be like us?»

He said «No!»

And when the pressure came

He watched them bow

Bobby stood there all alone

He said

Repeat Chorus

We don’t have to give in to it

We can choose to go against the crowd
