Life is a beat down
Life is a beat down you better understand
So stop your crying sissy and take it like a man
Nobody gives you nothing if you can't get it on
Life is beat down and your word is your bond
Yeah only the strong survive
There are two kinds of people who always come my way
Evil looking mothers and those who run away
Meek mild and timid like Clark before is was Superman
When they come into my life I try to lend a helping hand
Life is beat down you better understand
So stop your crying sissy and take it like a man
Nobody gives you nothing if you can't get it on
Life is beat down and your word is your bond
Yeah only the strong survive
I used to be a bad boy running from the law
Knocking all that cocaine knocking all them whores
Running like a locomotive running out of steam
Till I found a piece of the American dream
Then I found a guitar fell into my hand
Now I'm playing for myself I'm not a company man
So you better eat your wheaties if you want to take my seat
I came up in the old school and I don't accept defeat
Life is beat down you better understand
So stop your crying sissy and take it like a man
Nobody gives you nothing if you can't get it on
Life is beat down and your word is your bond
Each night on MTV I heard some rock star whining
About his record sales and how his stars not shining
He tries to blame his Mama his Sister and his Daddy
He should shut his mouth sit down and roll a fatty
And let the smoke clear out the fog that's clouding his brain
But all the ever thinks about is money sex and frame
And all that liposuction
and all that mass production
He sits and counts his bank while he lets the devil fuck him
And maybe he can find a way to make a contribution
Cause you gotta sing the blues if you wanna pay your dues
And you know it don't come easy
Life is beat down you better understand So stop your crying sissy and take it like a man Nobody gives you nothing if you can't get it on Life is beat down and your word is your bond
