I been bruised – I been used – I been beaten black and blue,nand I, assumed that I'd been the fool,nand it's made me mean – made me cruel,nmade me just the same as you – did things I shouldn't do,ndone things to make it through – while making up excuses to,njust get ahead – get along – get some more – get some fun,ngettin' scared of gettin' none – while lookn' after number one,nI gotta get ahead or get none – gotta get it all and then some,nGotta look how far I come – lived so fast – died so young.nnI'm chokin' - This smoke- has got so thick that I can't cope,nand it's so bad I'm almost broke – and I gone way beyond all hope,nand I can't breath – I can't see – can't be too good for me,nand I can't seem to find my feet – now – somebody help me please.nnShow me the sunshine.nnI want to see the blue sky,nShow me the sunshine.nI want to see the blue sky,nShow me the sunshine.nnI want to see the blue sky – come back to me,nShow me the sunshine.nI want to see the blue sky – come back to me,nShow me the sunshine.
