The Interrupters - Burdens Lyrics

If it gets too heavy, yeah, too heavy
Gonna bring you to the ground
Lay your burdens down, down, down, down
Lay your burdens down

(Ooh, yeah)
(Yeah) Yeah
(Ooh)
It's a heavy weight
Oh, yeah

It's a heavy weight
On a rainy day
We've bankrupted our spirits from all the bills we have to pay
I said, "Hey, now" (hey, now)
What you say when the pressure gonna come around?
My mama told me
"Baby, you've gotta lay your burdens down"

Lay your burdens down, down, down, down
Lay your burdens down
Lay your burdens down, down, down, down
Lay your burdens down
If it gets too heavy, yeah, too heavy
Gonna bring you to the ground
Lay your burdens down, down, down, down
Lay your burdens down

From the sharpest fangs
A good heart can harden
We've paralyzed compassion, we need to cast snakes from the garden
I said, "Hey, now" (hey, now)
What you say when the pressure's gonna come around? (Alright)
My mama told me
"Baby, you've gotta lay your burdens down"

Lay your burdens down, down, down, down
Lay your burdens down
Lay your burdens down, down, down, down
Lay your burdens down
If it gets too heavy, yeah, too heavy
Gonna bring you to the ground
Lay your burdens down, down, down, down
Lay your burdens down (oh, yeah)

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, ooh, yeah (yeah)
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, yeah

Lay your burdens down, down, down, down
Lay your burdens down
Lay your burdens down, down, down, down
Lay your burdens down
If it gets too heavy, yeah, too heavy
Gonna bring you to the ground
Lay your burdens down, down, down, down
Lay your burdens down (lay your burdens down)

Lay your burdens down, down, down, down
Lay your burdens down (lay your burdens down)
Lay your burdens down, down, down, down
Lay your burdens down (aw, hey)
In the morning (in the morning)
In the evening (in the evening)
Lay 'em down, down, down, down
Lay your burdens down
