Words by Aaron R Walker. Music by Peter Green.
lyrics
Shot down, kicked down, stabbed at and mauled
Slapped round, stared down, beaten and fallen
Cheated, mistreated, bought and then sold
Toasted and roasted, then left in cold
I get back up
Each time you kick me down
I got a rose in my teeth
And a thorn in my crown
My heart’s up in flames
And my head’s in the sky
I’m beaten but Babe
I’m the man who refuses to die
Staked out, raked out, and over the coals
Taken out, shaken out, and cast in the hole
Messed up, confessed up, the victim of lies
Fated and hated, and left here to cry
I get back up…
Bombarded, discarded, left to carry this load
Forgotten, left rotten, by the side of the road
Stood up, strung up, and hung out to dry
Bailed up, nailed up, and left there to die
I get back up…
