Default lie down

Could you give me an example sentence, using "lie down"
(meaning: evade, fail to do) as an inseparable transitive verb?

Default Re: lie down

What about?
lie down
to yield to

Ex: Never take any attack lying down.


lie down on the job
to not work as hard at something as you should.

Ex: The new Police Chief fired two officers he accused of lying down on the job.
