3 Doors DownDuck and Run Lyrics:
To this world I’m unimportant
Just because I have nothing to give
So you call this your free country
Tell me why it cost so much to live
Tell me why
This world can turn me down
But I won’t turn away, oh no
I won’t turn around
All my work and endless measures
Never seem to get me very far
Walk a mile just to move an inch
Now even though I’m
trying so damn hard
I’m trying so hard
This world can turn me down but I
Won’t turn away
And I won’t duck and run, cause
I’m not built that way
When everything is gone there is
Nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I’m already here, oh no!
I am already here,
Down on my knees
I am already here, on no, I am
Already here
I must have told you a thousand times,
I am not running away
I won’t duck and run
I won’t duck and run
I won’t duck and run
No pass away
This world can turn me down but I
Won’t turn away
And I won’t duck and run, cause
I’m not built that way
When everything is gone
There is nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I’m already here
This world can turn me down
But I won’t turn away
And I won’t duck away
Cause I’m not built that way
When everything is gone there
Is nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I’m already here

Written by: Brad Arnold, Todd Harrell, Christopher Henderson 2 & Matt Roberts
Produced by: Paul Ebersold
Engineered by: Paul Ebersold & Matt Martone
Performed by: 3 Doors Down 34
First released: 5
Single: 2001
Album: November 12, 2002
1 "Duck and Run" is the third single from 3 Doors Down's debut album, The Better Life,
and the band's third consecutive #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart, staying there
for three weeks. Despite not reaching the Billboard Hot 100, it did fairly well on these
other charts: Modern Rock #33, Austrailia #17, Canada #20, Switzerland #28, and U.K. Rock #24.
Following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11,
2001, the song was placed on the list of post-9/11 titles considered inappropriate and were
not played on several channel, no doubt causing the low rating on the Billboard Hot & Pop 100.
An interesting side note: The liner cover of 3 Doors Down's single bears the same image as
the one found on the cover of The Apex Theory's debut album, Topsy-Turvy.
2 Chris Henderson often goes by the name "DJ Smooth" or "Deep."
