This is my official 2020 anthem from this moment forward. I've always been a social outcast, so being forced to keep my distance from people is just business as usual for me. This world can't bring me down cause I'm already here.
Dude i listened to this when quarantine started and I forgot how raw n real it is. This song saved my life when i was like 12😹 and it still gives me goosebumps 14 yrs later 🙌🤯
Considering the cost of living now, I went down to the comments after he sang "So you call this your free country / tell me why it costs so much to live", still pretty accurate, if not more so
My favorite 3 Doors Down song man! This song reminds me of how strong I really am from within inside of myself. That's why it means so much. 3 Doors Down will always be my favorite band! Forever live the legends of the 2000's!!!!!
This is my theme song in life! The words couldn’t be more perfect or true :-) I’ve listened to them so many years, my grown kids now love them. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent w/us all.
Could u imagine them coming around with this song in the early 90's when grunge was really starting to take off?? They would have been up there with Pearl Jam, Soul Asylym, Alice in Chains, Nirvana etc.
@@crysylynn4225 4 yrs off dope now..no relapse but thank you..its possible & takes alot of strength..im lucky i beat the odds..pray for everyone going through it
@@scottwilson2344 👍 always good to hear a success story, and now this song will have more meaning, at least for me. I hope it, and other ones, will be able to provide the same help to others. It's not an easy fight.
Excellent album, listening since this was new. Ironically the 2 radio hits were the not the best on this album. A great listen begining to end , not one bad or mediocre tune on this!!
My ex hubby and I were there!! What an AWESOME experience!! 3 times this song was performed! 😍 ex's fave band! Seen them twice this year!🥰 Love 3DOORSDOWN!! ❤
Watching the footage of this made it enormously more sad to me to know that Matt is no longer with us. I'll always love this album a lot. Rest well, Matt. :(
i love this freaking song,this is sooooo me love 3 doors down you guys are to me the greatest brought me through my lowest an im gonna be fine now...thank you
To this world I am unimportant Just because I have nothing to give So you call this your free country Tell me why it costs 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's nothing there to fear This world cannot bring me down No, 'cause I'm already here, oh no! I'm already here, down on my knees I'm already here Oh, no, I'm 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, no, 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's 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 and run 'Cause I'm not built that way When everything is gone There's nothing there to fear This world cannot bring me down No, 'cause I am already here!
I love how this song isn't about being depressed and not doing anything about it.. it's looking back into darkness and saying I am going to fight.. I'm not gunna go quiet into the night
"So you call this your free country, tell me why it costs so much to live" Even today that line sticks to me. The Better Life is the best album of the 20th Century, not even 3 Doors Down can top it.
AWESOME. ONE HELL OF REALITY IN YOUR FACE... YOU GUYS ARE THE SHIT! !! ON EVERYTHING YALL DO .I AM A PROUD NATIVE AMERICAN WHO REALLY GETS YOUR MUSIC. ALL YOUR FANS OUT THERE. ..AGREE.
Awesome tune, Great motivational message. I've been put through the ringer in the past two years but I won't duck and run because I'm not built that way!!!!
i told my dad one day how much i loved this song, and was trying to explain how i loved this one part, and he was like i dont care lol, i was being annoying lol
Its not always a masterpiece just because it wasn't played a million times over on the radio........who else thinks this is bad ass jam?
I always loved this song over 20 years.
My personal favorite from 3DD.
It wasn't even allowed to be played over the radio after the 9/11 attacks.
My favorite 3 doors down song! Agree, bad ass fits this song perfect!
They were ahead of their time. I saw them live - AMAZING. This song actually is my favorite.
Still a kick ass song
..totally- they are really good😄😄😈😈😈🖤💟💘💌💌💜💙💚💜🖤💟💯
TRUEZ FACTZ 100 percent 🎉🎉🎉🎉😂
I have been listening to these guys exclusively for two months now. I never listened to them before. I'm addicted to this band now.
best song ever! I'm 47 and rocked this shit then... and now!
It's stuuuuuuuuppid 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Same. Im 42 and this was the jam in hs
I wouldn't say "ever" but I do concur that it's a great song
20 year military veteran and this song got me through some shit…Don’t “Duck and Run”. Go at the fight.
Just saw them in concert a couple days ago and this was their first song they played. This band is great in person! They absolutely killed it!!!
Yes they sure are and they sure do, my favorite band of all time other then God smack

What a Great Fu*king Song.
Great Job!!!!!
This song really inspires. I've been through hell myself, almost gave up, but songs like this give me strength!! God bless 3 Doors Down!
57 and still rockin' out to 3DD & Duck and Run!! Who's with me????

💜💜
57 also and rockin still ❤️🥰

@@showaker4755 same I am 30 and I remember my dad playing this on the old cd in his truck in 2000
Probably my favorite song of all time, it's just so powerful, feels like it gets in my soul
Almost 20 years later this is still an anthem.
Definitely, I live my life by these lyrics now that I understand them and it's not just a great song.
37yo checking in
Criminally underrated.Banger. Their best imo.Shouldve been released as a single
thats them mississippi boys... grew up 20 min down the road from where I live, my older cousin went to high school with brad.. represent
I’m from Pascagoula, meet then after the Navy. My nephew played drums with them before making it big back in early to mid 90’s.
I was born in Mississippi

Duck and run ....WHO IN THEY RIGHT MIND DOES THAT????
quite possibly the best song ever made by 3DD
@James Bailey fax
The only good song by them.
Thier basically just one of many watered down bands after rock died in 97.
I would say if not then top 10

I think the crazy part of this song is how much more relevant it is many years later.
@@KitsuneYojimbo many of their songs have been that way for me this year. It is scarily eery. But has gotten me through so much!
I absolutely love this song!!!
Even after a decade this song is still SO true!
Even after 2 decades this song still rings true!
And now?
Considering the cost of living now, I went down to the comments after he sang "So you call this your free country / tell me why it costs so much to live", still pretty accurate, if not more so
This song is beyond beautiful.

i know right i think 3 doors down is so underrated same with linkin park and this song is so much underrated
I think Brad is a BEAUTIFUL man inside and out ♥️ I love this band, they always put on a great show….saw them 8/28/21 in Maricopa, AZ 🤩
Just one of those songs I can’t play loud enough..
Exactly what I was thinking ! 🔥👍

Out of all the hits this band has, this could be one of the biggest ignored treasures!!
Totally agree!
I was in a cover band and we played it quite a bit. One of favorites to sing.
This one and loser
Its a bit of a gem in their catalogue.
This is my theme song in life! The words couldn’t be more perfect or true :-) I’ve listened to them so many years, my grown kids now love them. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent w/us all.
I was 10 years old when this came out jammin riding my bike to school still love it
Many tragedies in the band! But u boys are ready 4 a fuckin reunion in 2021!!!!
totally agree!! this song rocks, with sound, rhythm and meaning!!
This is my favorite of all the songs they have done
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...
HotTopic And Kohl's Needs Officially Licensed 3 Doors Down T-shirts
And Funko Pop figures
A masterpiece!
Great voice. Not to mention how good they sound live.
Shit,let alone the guitar part will blow you away..
They really do sound amazing live. Plus they have such a great time. Just good ole country boys
@@DaKaNgZ6 i never like live versions but they are beyond amazing live. It literally sounded like the CD
They are amazing live last time I seen them dude didnt even need to sing the crowd knew and stand word for word their whole set list
They sound awesome live , I saw them in Tulsa,Oklahoma and I had the best time of my life and can't wait to see them again
Talented, yet underrated band.
Tf do you mean underated, this band played at Trump's inaugeration.
Underated??? They were literally one of the biggest bands on the planet
4 platinum albums 11 number 1 hits hardly underrated lol
@@Kitkat3696 yea but their music now is not popular at all
Could u imagine them coming around with this song in the early 90's when grunge was really starting to take off?? They would have been up there with Pearl Jam, Soul Asylym, Alice in Chains, Nirvana etc.
Work hard play hard they know how to have a good time ✌😎🎶🔥🤘
This song was my fight song & it helped me quit herion..2 1/2 years clean..great song

It doesn't get much better than this.
That's right, what an awesome song, my favorite song of theirs. Great band.
I have considered tattooing the lyrics of the chorus of this song on my body somewhere. Please play this tonight in chicago!!
I’m 30 years old now, I first heard this song when it came out my Dad bought the better life CD and would play it in his truck
This hits different
I remember when they passed around their music at a concert I was at. This was the first song on it. Nostalgia is the best
My ex hubby and I were there!! What an AWESOME experience!! 3 times this song was performed! 😍 ex's fave band! Seen them twice this year!🥰 Love 3DOORSDOWN!! ❤
2020 needs this song ✊🏽✊🏽 stay strong my people
So I'm back here after 10 years as an adult and all the memories are flooding back 🥺
3 Doors Down will always rock my world. Rock and Roll....
+Edie Booth im with you they are awesome 3 doors down and linkin park are the 2 best bands ever
Please post the Fort Stewart concert footage y'all.
Watching the footage of this made it enormously more sad to me to know that Matt is no longer with us. I'll always love this album a lot. Rest well, Matt. :(
Rest in Peace Matt! Very sad news.

To this world I am unimportant
Just because I have nothing to give
So you call this your free country
Tell me why it costs 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's nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No, 'cause I'm already here, oh no!
I'm already here, down on my knees
I'm already here
Oh, no, I'm 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, no, 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's 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

My mom used to play this album all the time . My favorite song from 3 doors down
One of their best songs imo.
Mizz Sucks
This song makes me want to be a fuckin rockstar!
I love how this song isn't about being depressed and not doing anything about it.. it's looking back into darkness and saying I am going to fight.. I'm not gunna go quiet into the night
My favorite song of theirs is... EVERY ONE OF THEIR SONGS!!!
" Free country why does it cost so much to live"
"I WONT DUCK AND RUN I WAS NOT BUILT THAT WAY - This world cant bring me down - IM ALREADY HERE "
💯
I forgot how talented this band was. Amazing musicianship!
So happy I got to see these guys back when there was no thought of a virus stopping concerts
My favorite #3DoorsDown song ever! I won't duck an run, 'cause I'm not built that way! #rip
#MattRoberts
i know this is the most underrated 3 doors down song
Thalia Wiggins
wow que tiempos cuando recién salio está canción, de las pocas bandas en su estilo que he conocido, hacen vibrar sin duda alguna
Fire
"So you call this your free country, tell me why it costs so much to live" Even today that line sticks to me. The Better Life is the best album of the 20th Century, not even 3 Doors Down can top it.
Amazing 🤘
This is by far my favorite 3 doors down song. Great memories.....
Never a bad song from this band I swear
I love this song. I still enjoy their music even today. I do miss the 1990s.
GoddessAnjanee this is from 2000
+8gerrard8 the 2000s sometimes feels like the 1990s
One of the best songs ever.....saw them twice in Paris France....have Matts plectrum..love this band almost as much as Thin LIZZY
In my opinion The Better Life is 3 Doors Down's best album. R.I.P. Matt Roberts😐
I couldn't agree more very good and so underaded
They came and played a free concert for the military! I obviously attended. Love them
Idk why this song just randomly popped into my head yesterday, but this was my favorite song of theirs from back in the day.
Just left their 20th anniversary away from the sun tour… kickass
The nostalgia of being in my dads truck rocking out to this song bro
So True so true
Everyone always mocked their most known songs
but this was their best imo
Wow 3 doors down freaking rocks. So u call this your free country tell me why it cost so much 2 live? Seems like so accurate like now and always omg!
We need a extended version...
Yes agree!
Started with their 1st releases and still listen to them. Brads never been a bad Role model and he still keeps rocking and smiling!
Wow, they're so good. Music is just flowing like water. Looks like I'm here to stay
I’m a 80s fan but, give credit when credit is due. Great song/ Great band!!
Bout time some body talks about all thiscraziness that's happening throughout our nation!!!!!! Stand up for our country and what you believe in!!!!
I won't duck and run. I am hard to go through because I am tangible

2020 still listening
Saw this amazing band in Manchester UK. Their first gig over here. Amazing and underrated band
Wait like the united kingdom? If so sorry to hear that.
