Children yet to be born,
don't you mourn me now,
'cause the crows are in the corn.
Lay it down, lay it down,
lay it down, lay it down,
lay it down, lay it down.

Old man's on his porch,
his house burning down.
When he passes you his torch
lay it down, lay it down,
lay it down, lay it down,
lay it down, lay it down.

And the young man comes
to beat his drums,
and the old man sings
"here it comes, here it comes",
and Newsweek's featured
everyone by now.
Lay it down now, lay it down now,
lay it down.

We built this house of cards,
we can tear it down.
When it hurts don't take it hard,
lay it down, lay it down,
lay it down, lay it down,
lay it down, lay it down,
lay it down.

And the wildman brings
his wild man things,
while the press keeps
pressing on the pressure king.
And the drums are beating
everywhere by now.
Lay it down now, lay it down now,
lay it down.
