Uriah Heep is a British rock band, officially formed in 1969 in England, when record producer Gerry Bron invited keyboardist Ken Hensley (previously a member of The Gods and Toe Fat) to join Spice, a band signed to his own Bronze Records label. Sometimes jokingly referred to as "The Beach Boys of heavy metal" for their melodic songs, and trademark multi-part harmony backing vocals, although their music draws on diverse influences including psychedelia, gothic sound, progressive rock, hard rock, early heavy metal, jazz, and even country on occasion. Uriah Heep remains active today with its lineup since 1986. An album featuring new material will be released sometime in 2007.

Can’t Keep A Good Bad Down Lyrics

Uriah Heep

I cant believe yall are still sayin
Were a long way from rocknroll
You wont look for the good
In the tunes were playin
Prefer to say we got no soul
But day after day in town after town
People say were doin alright
We play and we stay boogyin down
And rockin on into the night
Its breath and words
And time youre wastin
When you should be tryin
To have a good time
For a good few years
Its been yours weve tasted
So heres a little piece of our mind
Well roll and well roll
And well roll and well roll
Till we run out of reason to try
If it happens you dont approve
It dont matter we wont ask why
You cant keep a good band down
Youll never find the solution
You wont stop us runnin around
Youre dealin with an institution
Well fill our cup with wine while you
Fill your head with high ideals
You know so much
But you still cant touch
Till you find out how it feels
Itll take much more
Than the high and mighty
To bring down the king of the road
We could still be friends
And quit this fightin
And let the real story be told
You cant keep a good band down
Youll never find the solution
You wont stop us runnin around
With your paragraphs of pollution
