Down And Out

What is a test of virtue?
The standards we must find
Instead the shackles hurt you
But never dealt in kind
Dealt in kind

Stern are the eyes that search you
To measure your design
Alone with jackals, turn to
The depths you'll search inside
Search inside

Down and out
No small mercy found
It’s like life conspires to confound
Down and out
Just the worthy crowned
But for those outsiders, no rebound
You'll stay
Down and out

No rules, the flock desert you
With slander always primed
It's like they never heard you
Your status is declined
Now declined

Down and out
No small mercy found
It’s like life conspires to confound
Down and out
Just the worthy crowned
But for those outsiders, no rebound
You'll be
Down and out

Down and out
No small mercy found
It's like life conspires to confound
Down and out
Just the worthy crowned
But for those outsiders, no rebound
Only
Down and out
Down and out
