Thea Gilmore - I'm Not Down lyrics

If it's true that a rich man leads a sad life N' that's what they say from day to day Then what do all the poor do with their lives On Judgement Day? With nothing to say I've been beat up, I've been thrown out But I'm not down, I'm not down I've been shown up but I've grown up I'm not down, I'm not down 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, oh Well, I've been beat up, I've been thrown out But I'm not down, I'm not down I've been shown up but I've grown up I'm not down, I'm not down I've lived that kind of day When none of your sorrows will go away It goes down and down and hit the floor Down and down and down some more Depression But I know 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 Givin' up 'Cause I've been beat up, 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 I've been beat up, I've been thrown out But I'm not down, I'm not down I've been shown up but I've grown up And I'm not down, I'm not down I'm not down
