Head Down (Rehearsal Version) Lyrics

[Spoken: Chris Cornell]
Come on, do the cymbal bell thing...

[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 your life
Head down
Head down
Head down to 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
See Soundgarden Live
Get tickets as low as $80
[Verse 3]
We see you try
We see you fail
Some things never change
We hear you cry
We hear you wail
We steal that smile on your face

[Chorus 2]
Bow down
Bow down
Bow down so live your life
Head down
Head down
Head down to hide your smile
Head high
Head high
Head high, you've got to smile
Head high
Head high
Head high like a song you like

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
