Duck and Run lyrics

[Verse 1]

To this world, I'm unimportant

Just because I have nothing to give

So you call this your free country

Tell me why it costs so much to live

Tell me why

[Pre-Chorus]

This world can turn me down

But I won’t turn away (oh no)

I won’t turn around

[Verse 2]

All my work and endless measures

Never seem to get me very far

Walk a mile just to move an inch now

Even though I'm trying so damn hard

I'm trying so hard

[Chorus]

This world can turn me down

But I won’t turn away

And I won’t duck and run

'Cause I'm not built that way

When everything is gone

There is nothing there to fear

This world cannot bring me down

No, 'cause I'm already here

[Bridge]

Oh, no, I am already here

Down on my knees

I am already here (on no)

I'm already here

I must have told you a thousand times

I'm not running away

[Bridge]

I won’t duck and run

I won’t duck and run

I won’t duck and run

No, I won't pass away

[Chorus]

This world can turn me down

But I won’t turn away

And I won’t duck and run

'Cause I'm not built that way

When everything is gone

There is nothing there to fear

This world cannot bring me down

No, 'cause I'm already here

This world can turn me down

But I won’t turn away

And I won’t duck and run

'Cause I'm not built that way

When everything is gone

There is nothing there to fear

This world cannot bring me down

No, 'cause I'm already here
