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