Contextual Analysis of "downtrodden" in Lyrics

but where would i go?

less often

i found god

lack a great bod

like their minds had been marred

i flagged down a stranger

this is for the lost

and anybody looking for a purpose

dumbfounded

crestfallen

destined to be

an exploitation of power

so if you feel alone

there's an elixir for your ills

power-hungry dotards

trapped within archaic structures

and empty souls

and took the best and left us the fodder

it's been a long way from the forsaken prison

the rivalry of gods must end here once and for all

shroud of insecurity

striving for perfection

and rubber bullets

and the oppressed

of how i always feel

take me as i am

and rubber bullets

and the oppressed

he's got that hang dog look about him paul's one unhappy pup

and i know he wants to clue us in about all our impending doom

so put two in my cup

ridin'

by yourself

breeds poor health

they're never gonna play her on the radio

a guitar man there who knew all the chords

i hope your dreams were not forgotten

get your health together

you got to reach up to touch rock bottom
