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
That too scared to notice"
When you're down, keep swingin'
'Cause life is a mystery (oh-oh-oh-oh)
You never know when you're gonna hit
When you're down, keep swingin'
'Cause life is a mystery
But you have to face it on your own (oh-oh-oh-oh)
So keep swingin' (keep swingin', keep swingin')
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 further 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 swingin'
'Cause life is a mystery (oh-oh-oh-oh)
You never know when you're gonna hit
(Keep swingin', keep swingin')
When you're down, keep swingin'
'Cause life is a mystery
But you've got to face it on your own (oh-oh-oh-oh)
So keep swingin'
So live your life (when you're down)
Just make the best of what you can (oh-oh-oh-oh)
You'll finish off the rest with no regrets
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 swingin'
'Cause life is a mystery (oh-oh-oh-oh)
You never know when you're gonna hit
(Keep swingin', keep swingin')
When you're down, keep swingin'
'Cause life is a mystery
But you've got to face it on your own
So keep swingin'
But you've got to face it on your own (oh-oh-oh-oh)
So keep swingin'
