Otep - Down lyrics

All my life i was told that I was evil
All my life i've been living illegal
I'm the one that they love to hate
Cause, I'm half mark twain
And I'm half jesse James
Words are my weapons to blow them away
More disciples with rifles then the NRA
They're playing checkers i'm playing chess

A defiant mental giant i'm never the less
When I trample examples
Of artificial success
They try to bring me down but, I'm coming up
And it's

Never enough

Round & round & round straight to the bottom
Yeah it takes me down round & round & round
Dooooooown! Round & round & round
Stuck in my head i can't escape that sound
Round & round & round down motherfucker
Yeah, it takes me dOWN

If the people are sheep
Don't blame the shepherd
If knowledge is cheap
I should be an investor
You're the common in the knowledge
That I already know
Just a common in the sentence
That I already wrote
It's like history's written in invisible ink
So they can own the throne
And everything'll repeat
In the kingdom of lies
The best that money can buy
I was born to destroy but, I live to defy

Round & round & round straight to the bottom
Yeah it takes me down round & round & round
Dooooooown! Round & round & round
Stuck in my head i can't escape that sound
Round & round & round down motherfucker
Yeah, it takes me dOWN

I'm the devil you know
And I'm the devil you don't
Cause you can't command
What you can't control no
You can't command what you can't control
No you can't command
What you can't control

Round & round & round straight to the bottom
Yeah it takes me down round & round & round
Dooooown round & round & round
Stuck in my head i can't escape that sound
Round & round & round dooooown
Round & round & round i was born to destroy
But, I live to defy round & round & round
Down motherfucker yeah, it takes me
