Good Man Down

It doesn't matter where in the world you are
The same sun will shine on you
And in that moonlight you look the same to me
No matter what you call your news

Oh, your flesh and blood is just as good enough
And your heart beats just the same as everyone's

Well, life's too short to keep a good man down
You raise your flag, it don't mean nothing about you
Baby, life's too short to keep a good man down
Life's too short to keep a good man down

The way you're talking don't worry me that much
Your language I can understand
There ain't no difference what you say to me
We're all part of the same land

Oh, your flesh and blood is just as good enough
And your heart beats just the same as everyone's

Well, life's too short to keep a good man down
You raise your flag, it don't mean nothing about you
Baby, life's too short to keep a good man down
Life's too short to keep a good man down

They write about it and they talk about it
But what does freedom mean?
And they write about it when they talk about it
But what does freedom mean?

Life's too short to keep a good man down
You raise your flag, it don't mean nothing about you
Baby, life's too short to keep a good man down
Life's too short to keep a good man down

Yeah, yeah
To keep a good man down
To keep a good man down
To keep a good man down
To keep a good man down
To keep a good man down
To keep a good man down
To keep a good man down
