When I grew up It was different
There was no violence or like other towns
But when I came home from school that night

I saw the cops were on the run
There were kids on the wall
reaching up to the sky

Like a culture shock of joy
It sent me into a strong fascination
And what's been lost is back


[Chorus]
'Cause we were the only ones

Darling and me this time it's going down

You know where I belong

And you know it's time that we let go
Been drifting so far away from home
November came back and all was gone

You know where I belong, my darling
This time it's going down


When December came I was older
And snow was finally on the ground
Soldiers lining up, cameras feeding the world

With pictures that would mark my mind
I heard this woman scream as she
was begging for trust

Then turning ghost-like behind the court
A shotgun blast, as new years passed
Oppression was on the run


[Chorus]


They're Going Down

You know where I belong

And you know it's time that we let go
Been drifting so far away from home
November came back and all was gone

You know where I belong, my darling
it's going down
