"To be down on someone/somebody" - идиома: злиться на кого-то, критиковать кого-то. "Мне кажется, словно все люди в этом мире ополчились против меня".
REFRAIN:
Well, down on me, Lord, down on me.
I said it looks like everybody in this whole round world,
Yeah hey yeah all right, is down on me yeah.
One of these mornings be proud and fair,
Put on my wings and then I'll try the air
REFRAIN
The pot is gold, the rain is rain
And the government it'll never change, no.
REFRAIN
Believe in your brother, [have] faith in man,
Help each other, honey, if you can
