Don't let the bastards grind you down, you'll be aright Better to keep the faith and put up a good fight Don't let the bastards bring you down, you'll be ok Winning every little day Every little victory Don't let the bastards wind you up and put you down Never let them get in through to you is what I've found Don't let the bastards grind you down, you'll be ok Winning every day Every little victory 'Cos I got hope in my heart Everyday, It's like I make a brand new start And I got faith in my dreams My prayer is closer, not as far as it seems I got hope Don't let the bastards pass on you and write you off Better to walk away with pride, you've had enough Don't let the bastards brush you off, you'll be ok You can fight another day Win another victory You can beat the powers that be Yeah, you can be a star 'Cos I got hope in my heart Every day I can make a brand new start I got faith in my dreams My future's closer and not as far as it seems 'Cos I got hope in my heart Every day, it's like I make a brand new start I got faith in my dreams My future's brighter and not as dark as it been I got hope
