Lyrics:  
 
If it's true that a rich man leads a sad life 
N' that's what they from day to day 
Then what do all the poor do with their lives? 
Have nothing to say on judgment day? 
 
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 
 
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 
 
And I have lived that kind of day 
When one 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
