You are never gonna keep me down

You are never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down

The lyrics of this 90’s hit song, even if they are pretty simple, they do touch the essence of entrepreneurship. They reflect the persistence and perseverance, and the attitude of never giving up that is a cornerstone of entrepreneurship.

PS: the political background of the song is way more complex than the lyrics, it’s about class war, but we are just taking the song for face value, without entering too much into politics.

He drinks a Lager drink, he drinks a Cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him of the better times
