Clash - I'm Not Down Lyrics
(strummer/jones)If its true that a rich man leads a sad lifeN thats what they from day to dayThen what do all the poor do with their lives?Have nothing to say on judgment day?Ive been beat up, Ive been thrownOut but Im not down, Im not downIve been shown up, but Ive grown upAnd Im not down, Im not downOn my own I faced a gang of jeering in strange streetsWhen my nerves were pumping and iFought my fear in, I did not runI was not doneAnd I have lived that kind of dayWhen one of your sorrows will go awayIt goes down and down and hit the floorDown and down and down some moreDepressionBut I now therell be some wayWhen I can swing everything back my wayLike skyscrapers rising upFloor by floor, Im not giving upSo you rock around and think thatYoure the toughestIn the world, the whole wide worldBut youre streets away from whereIt gets the roughestYou aint been there
