Footdown Lyrics by Michael Penn

MP4 (Days Since a Lost Time Accident)

0

In a little while
I'll forget your name
And with the time we had
I will do the same
'Cause I can't belong
To any future
The past's a
Never ending overture
Until it's only now
No matter how
I put my foot down (I put my foot down)
I want to know my rank (I put)
And I want my reward (My foot down)
Or I will make a little war
That you can not afford

I don't mean to be
Somehow unkind
But the bottom of my heart
Is in the backseat
Of my mind
It's a drive with will
I guess, until
I put my foot down (I put my foot down)
(I put my foot down)

I don't mean to be
Somehow unkind
But when you put
Your best foot forward
Something's left behind
I'm gonna tell you now
I'm going to make a vow
To put my foot down

(I put my foot down)
(I put my foot down)
(I put my foot down)
I put my foot down
And it's always the same game
(I put my foot down)
I put my foot down
I put my foot down
I put my foot down
(I put my foot down)
In a little while, I'll forget your name
I put my foot down
I put my foot down
I put my foot down
