“Down” by Jacob Seeger taps into the rich tradition of New Jersey rock ‘n’ rollers writing subtly disguised political anthems. Famous examples include Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” and Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name.”

Feels like I don't got a problem in my life
I'm not saying that I want you as my wife
But if you're down, girl, then maybe so am I, uh
I'm just playing, 'less you really wanna try, wanna try
When do we know when to go to define?
We don't think too far, it's just you and I
So before we go and start to define
Just so you know, you know
If you're down
Then I'm down
And we can work it out
No ounce of doubt
'Cause I'm down
'Cause I'm down, yeah
'Cause if you're down
Like I'm down
Then we don't have nothing to worry about
'Cause I'm down, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby, we can make it work
If you're down, like you would say "I do"
Like I would go the distance just for you
Like the feelings that we used to get in high school

When do we know when to go to define?
We don't think too far, it's just you and I
So before we go and start to define
Just so you know, you know
'Cause if you're down
Then I'm down
And we can work it out
No ounce of doubt
'Cause I'm down
I'm down
I'm down, yeah
'Cause if you're down
Like I'm down
Then we don't have nothing to worry about
'Cause I'm down
'Cause I'm down, yeah
I'm down, yeah
So when we go
When we start to go slow
And you want to pick it up
Don't let the feeling go
Said are you down for me?
Are you down for me?
Yeah
So that you know
The way that things flow
We don't gotta do the least
We don't gotta do the most
Long as you're down for me
Are you down for me?
Down for me
