"Don't Drag Me Down", by Social Distortion from the album "White Light, White Heat". Lyrics from SongMeanings.
Ignorance like a gun in hand
reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies,
media -blitz gonna dry your eyes
You're eighteen wanna be a man
Your granddaddy's in the Ku Klux Klan
Taking two steps forward
and four steps back
Gonna go to the White House
and paint it black

One hell of a song on a terrific album. My band used to cover “When the Angels Sing”.

Yeah. I love me some White Light, White Heat (White Trash). I’ve been channeling some darkness…Who’d ever think 1996 would be the Good ‘Ol Days in some respects…
