Inspired by the real life character Molly Brown, one of a handful of survivors of the famous Titanic, she went on to be a huge public figure, philanthropist and activist.
I wrote the track at the time a female friend of mine was facing her toughest fight yet, but she refused to give up despite of what was thrown at her. The track is dedicated to her.
lyrics
Molly Brown:
Try to beat me down
and bleed me dry
I wait on the shoreline
and wonder why
With fire in my mind
and blood in my veins
I’ll be damned if you think
i’m playing your games
You might think you can keep me down
but i’m unsinkable like Ms Molly Brown
I’m not going down
not going down
I’m unsinkable like Ms Molly Brown
I’m not going down
not going down
I’m unsinkable like Ms Molly Brown
So go on and take it
i’m still gonna make it
Don't give a f*ck if you
try and break it
Beat me down
and make me cry
I’m still gonna look you
straight square in the eye
You might think you can keep me down
but i’m unsinkable like Ms Molly Brown
I’m not going down
not going down
I’m unsinkable like Ms Molly Brown
I’m not going down
not going down
I’m unsinkable like Ms Molly Brown
You might think you can keep me down
but i’m unsinkable like Ms Molly Brown
The journey was sweet
until you got in the seat
Now you think you’ve got me
dead straight beat
Well not from today
its going my way
I’m leaving you standing
move out of the way
You might think you can keep me down
but i’m unsinkable like Ms Molly Brown
I’m not going down
not going down
I’m unsinkable like Ms Molly Brown
I’m not going down
I’m not going down
I’m unsinkable like Ms Molly Brown
You might think you can keep me down
but i’m unsinkable like Ms Molly Brown
I’m not going down
I’m not going down
I’m unsinkable like Ms Molly Brown
Can’t keep me
Won’t beat me
Cant’ keep me
Won’t beat me
Can’t keep me
Won’t beat me
