The Clash — Im Not Down Vanilla Studios Demo Version

[Intro] Huh! [Verse 1] Well, I've never seen a rich man go out shopping I wonder why, I wonder why Maybe all that money saves his life from crying He must be mad, he must be mad [Chorus] 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 Huh! [Verse 2] On my own, I faced a gang of jeering In strange streets, oh When my nerves were pumping and I fought my fear in Oh ho, oh-oh [Chorus] 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, I've been grown up And I'm not down, no I'm not down Huh! [Verse 3] 'Cause 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 and hit some more Depression But I know it'll go away When I can swing everything back my way Maybe I'll cure that Depression [Bridge] 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 I've been there, oh ho [Chorus] I've been beat up, I've been grown up 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 [Outro] Hey, hey, hey Well, 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
