Dag Nasty: "Downtime" Lyrics

you're gonna tear down the walls

you're gonna scream for change

you're gonna make a difference now

they're gonna hear it again

well I don't believe it

and I can't see it

there is a will and a way I'm happy to say

but the answer's not in your basement

this time - down time

your cover's blown you're on your own this time

down time now you're on your own

look around - up and down

there are people sleeping on the ground

there are problems way more real

than a gang or a scene or a record deal

and I don't believe it

my eyes have seen it

nothing you can say will make it go away

the answer's in your actions

when times go bad and we're so quick to run away

in the down time will you see it through ?
