Hundred and one in the shade tonight All that time in the wilds of youth You might find it won't desert you We're gonna shake your soul tonight Some may say let's wait and see Some may find it's a mystery Blame it on love on the ones unsung We'll take care of the damage done
Sons beat down, sons beat down Sons beat down, daughters and sons
Who are those too afraid to awaken So her hand falls on his face Many are those too afraid to be shaken Sit in darkness somewhere safe
Some of those things you'll never see Some of those things you may never be But you won't try, and you won't know Maybe it's time for letting it go
Sons beat down, sons beat down Sons beat down, sons beat down
This world's fast and it's bloody uncertain Generations walk in their own light We'll play for the ones until the last curtain In rage against the dark of night
Sons beat down, sons beat down Sons beat down, sons beat down
