CLASH - I'm Not Down lyrics

rate me

(strummer/jones)<br><br>If it's true that a rich man leads a sad life<br>N' that's what they from day to day<br>Then what do all the poor do with their lives? <br>Have nothing to say on judgment day? <br><br>I've been beat up, I've been thrown<br>Out but I'm not down, I'm not down<br>I've been shown up, but I've grown up<br>And I'm not down, I'm not down<br><br>On my own I faced a gang of jeering in strange streets<br>When my nerves were pumping and i<br>Fought my fear in, I did not run<br>I was not done<br><br>And I have lived that kind of day<br>When one of your sorrows will go away<br>It goes down and down and hit the floor<br>Down and down and down some more<br>Depression<br>But I now there'll be some way<br>When I can swing everything back my way<br>Like skyscrapers rising up<br>Floor by floor, I'm not giving up<br><br>So you rock around and think that<br>You're the toughest<br>In the world, the whole wide world<br>But you're streets away from where<br>It gets the roughest<br>You ain't been there
