Lyrics

I’ve been beat up and pushed down
Face held to the ground
Stomped on and thrown aside
Knocked down and left behind
I’ve been down for the count
Banned and thrown out
Used and abused
And set up to lose

Chorus
But I stood up, didn’t use a crutch
Clenched my teeth and licked my cuts
I raised my fists and stepped back in
Barefoot on broken glass
Ready to go again

I’ve been here before
Been shown to the door
Slapped in the face
And thrown to the floor
I’ve been spit on and told off
Lied to and ripped off
Black eyed and broken bones
Bruised pride and bloody nosed

Chorus
But I stood up, didn’t use a crutch
Clenched my teeth and licked my cuts
I raised my fists and stepped back in
Barefoot on broken glass
Ready to go again

Bridge
I’d like to take chance
To raise a drink and thank you friends
For all those who show up
And stay to the end
But for all those lost shows
The times I was told no
For those who have passed
You can shove it up your ass!

Chorus
But I stood up, didn’t use a crutch
Clenched my teeth and licked my cuts
I raised my fists and stepped back in
Barefoot on broken glass
Ready to go again
