Lie Down Time Lyrics

I just got hit by a ton of bricks
But I won't lie down
While I'm alive I'm gonna get my kicks
I won't lie down
I'm old and dirty from the wrong side of town
I won't lie down
Ain't got no money to throw around
I won't lie down
Doctor says I'm living on borrowed time
But I won't lie down
Get so sick my baby cries
I won't lie down
My head is spinning and my legs are weak
But I won't lie down
I smoke and drink till my heart stands still
But I won't lie down
I won't lie down and die
No I won't lie down and die
I won't lie down and die
No I won't lie down and die
Now I've seen heaven and I've seen hell
But I won't lie down
Ain't ready to hear that old church bell
I won't lie down F
Ire your gun, drop your bombs
But I won't lie down
I'm gonna be around till kingdom come
I won't lie down
I won't lie down and die
No I won't lie down and die
I won't lie down and die
No I won't lie down and die

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
