I'm Not Down (bonus Track) Lyrics - Songs From The Gutter - Thea Gilmore

If it's true, a rich man leads a sad life 

That's what they from day to day 

Then what do all the poor do with their lives? 

On Judgment Day, have nothing to say 

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 

On my own, I faced a gang of jeering in strange streets 

When my nerves were pumping and I 

Fought my fear in, I did not 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 

And I have 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 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, 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'm not down, no I'm not down 

No I'm not down, no I'm not down 

No I'm not down, no I'm not down 

No I'm not down, I'm not down
