You Can’t Bring Me Down

Suicidal Tendencies, California skater punk turned metal edged fury. A band that, on the surface seems like something to be afraid of (the sound, the anger, the name of the band), but when you get into the music, it’s got a lot more to offer.

I love the lyrics of the entire song, but I especially the rant at the end of this song:

Just ‘cuz you don’t understand what’s goin’ on don’t mean it don’t make no sense.
And just ‘cuz you don’t like it don’t mean it ain’t no good.
And let me tell you somethin’:
Before you go takin’ a walk in my world, you better take a look at the real world, ‘cuz this ain’t no Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood.
Can you say “feel like shit”?
Yeah maybe sometimes I do feel like shit.
I ain’t happy about it, but I’d rather feel like shit than be full of shit.
And if I offended you? Oh I’m sorry but maybe you need to be offended.
Well here’s my apology, and one more thing: Fuck you!

Because you can’t bring me down.

Suicidal!
