Head Down Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see that smile, I see that smile
I see that smile on your face
We hear you cry, we hear you wail
We see that smile on your face
[Verse 2]
We see you laugh, we see you dance
We take that away every day
We see you cry, we turn your head
Then we slap your face
[Chorus 1]
Bow down, bow down
Bow down to live your life
Head down, head down
Head down, hide that smile
Head high, head high
Head high, you've got to smile
Head high, head high
Head high, you've got to smile
[Verse 3]
We see you try, we see you fail
Some things will change
We hear you cry, we hear you wail
We steal that smile on your face
I see that smile, I see that smile
I see that smile on your face
We hear you cry, we hear you wail
We see that smile on your face
[Verse 2]
We see you laugh, we see you dance
We take that away every day
We see you cry, we turn your head
Then we slap your face
[Chorus 1]
Bow down, bow down
Bow down to live your life
Head down, head down
Head down, hide that smile
Head high, head high
Head high, you've got to smile
Head high, head high
Head high, you've got to smile
[Verse 3]
We see you try, we see you fail
Some things will change
We hear you cry, we hear you wail
We steal that smile on your face
[Chorus 2]
Bow down, bow down
Bow down to live your life
Head down, head down
Head down, hide that smile
Head high, head high
Head high, you got to smile
Head high, head high
Head high like a song you like
Bow down, bow down
Bow down to live your life
Head down, head down
Head down, hide that smile
Head high, head high
Head high, you got to smile
Head high, head high
Head high like a song you like

Genius Annotation
“Head Down” takes the hypocritical perspective of either a literal group of people, society, or life as a whole, doing its best to control and make you submit to social norms. Originality, creativity, expression, and imagination is discouraged. When you’re sad, you must put a smile on your face.
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
