lyrics

Ride, with your head down.
Ride, with your head down.

Yeah you were, in the back with your head down.
And I was thinking, what a strange example.
And do I follow, yeah do I follow, the strangest example?

Ride, with your head down.

Your advice to the clock inside my head, turn it off
And face the elements
Your advice to my overactive mind,
just turn it off and drive

Against the sages of the old ways
Against the guardians of the old days
Youʼll crane your neck
Only to be cut down
You bite your tongue, only for your whole life.
Only through your whole life.

Your advice to the clock inside my head, turn it off
And face the elements
Your advice to my overactive mind, just turn it off
And drive

A thousand pounds of shame on your chest.
(What you tried to control you just destroyed.)
Just turn it off and drive.
