Lyrics
0:13Hi
0:19If it's true a rich man leads a sad life
0:23That's what they say from day to day
0:27Then what do the poor do with their lives
0:30On judgment day with nothing to say
0:33I've been beat up I've been thrown out
0:37But I'm not down oh I'm not down
0:41I've been shown up but I've grown up
0:43And I'm not down oh I'm not down
0:54On my own I faced a gang of jeering
0:58In strange streets
1:01When my nerves were pumping out
1:03I fought my fear in I didn't run
1:06I was not done
1:08I've been beat up I've been thrown out
1:11But I'm not down no I'm not down
1:15I've been shown up but I've grown up
1:19And I'm not down no I'm not down
1:29So I have lived that kind of day
1:33When none of your sorrows will go away
1:37Go down and down and hit the floor
1:38Down and down and down some more
1:40Depression
1:44But I now there'll be some way
1:47When I can swing everything back my way
1:51Like skyscrapers rising up
1:52Floor by floor I'm not giving up
1:57So you rock around and think that
1:59You're the toughest
2:01In the world the whole wide world
2:04But you're streets away from where
2:06It gets the roughest
2:08You ain't been there
2:12I've been beat up I've been thrown out
2:15But I'm not down oh I'm not down
2:19I've been shown up but I've grown up
2:22And I'm not down oh I'm not down hi
2:32I'm not down oh I'm not down
2:39I'm not down oh I'm not down
2:47I'm not down oh I'm not down
2:54I'm not down oh I'm not down
Hi If it's true a rich man leads a sad life That's what they say from day to day Then what do the poor do with their lives On judgment day with nothing to say I've been beat up I've been thrown out But I'm not down oh I'm not down I've been shown up but I've grown up And I'm not down oh I'm not down On my own I faced a gang of jeering In strange streets When my nerves were pumping out I fought my fear in I didn't run I was not done I've been beat up I've been thrown out But I'm not down no I'm not down I've been shown up but I've grown up And I'm not down no I'm not down So I have lived that kind of day When none of your sorrows will go away Go down and down and hit the floor Down and down and down some more Depression But I now there'll be some way When I can swing everything back my way Like skyscrapers rising up Floor by floor I'm not giving up So you rock around and think that You're the toughest In the world the whole wide world But you're streets away from where It gets the roughest You ain't been there I've been beat up I've been thrown out But I'm not down oh I'm not down I've been shown up but I've grown up And I'm not down oh I'm not down hi I'm not down oh I'm not down I'm not down oh I'm not down I'm not down oh I'm not down I'm not down oh I'm not down
