Jon Troast - Knock Down Lyrics

Left the party just in time
Too much smoke in the air
I'd hoped to see some friends of mine
I knew nobody there
Put myself on the auction block
See how much I can draw
Find my worth when the bidding stops
When the next name is called

I've got to be knock down stupid to keep letting myself do this and
So gone silly to think it'll make a difference if I
Measure up to what they want to see
All these people, people like me

Clear the smoke with a humble heart
Breathing out is the key
Egotistical boxing match
You'll be knocked out in one, two, three
Better off heading to the street
Where the honest people are
I'd take real over vanity
It's much better by far

I've got to be knock down stupid to keep letting myself do this and
So gone silly to think it'll make a difference if I
Measure up to what they want to see
All these people, people like me

I'm out, on account of being different
What's the difference
How did we all agree
Can you tell me what is it that determines if I fit in
'Cause I'll keep on trying

I've got to be knock down stupid to keep letting myself do this and
So gone silly to think it'll make a difference if I
Measure up to what they want to see
All these people, people like me
