Well, I win some and I lose some   But I lose more than I should   And every time the light shined in my direction   I just couldn't seem to make good      I missed all my shots and I blew all my parts   And I wasted all my time   No meaning, no feeling   No reason, no rhyme      Now assholes live in castles   And maggots live in my brain   And it just isn't worth the hassle   To continue in this vein      Where everyone's searchin'   And the whole scene is hurtin'   And we're not very good   Where the money is lousy   And the drinks are expensive   And I'm living in a bad neighborhood      Don't stop kicking me down   Don't stop kicking me down   Don't stop kicking me down   You've got to do it because it feels good      Of course we're all very impressed with your face   You've got the sea salt in your eyes   You say we're not quite California   So when we fail it will be no surprise      So easy to toss aside your own perfect alibi   It's so easy, you see   If you don't stop your hitting   If you don't stop your kicking   Hell, I may never ever leave      Don't stop kicking me down   Don't stop kicking me down   Don't stop kicking me down   You've got to do it because it feels good      Am I speaking my mind again?   Are you listening to me?   Hey, I am talking to you   Hey, I am talking to you   Hey, I am talking to you      Don't stop kicking me down   Don't stop kicking me down   Don't stop kicking me down   Don't stop kicking   Oh, don't stop your kicking, kicking me down   You're kicking me down
