Dug through the ashtray   Under the cushions   Shook all my blue jeans   Spent all day looking      For enough change   To get the rent paid   Just so I can hang   Here another week      Yeah, I've been passed on   Shown the way out   Worn out these steel toes   Kicking some doors down      Just need that one chance   Don't tell me that I can't   I've gotta do it, man   Ain't got no plan B      I don't wanna go home   And give in to all these people   That say I can't do it   I don't wanna prove 'em all right      I'll take my licks and keep on   Getting up swinging   Is that all you got? Bring it   So what I'm beat up and I'm bruised   I didn't come here to lose      Give me your heck no's   You'll never make it   All those cynical   Back handed praises      I'll turn them into   Something I can use   A little rocket fuel   For my shooting star      I don't wanna go home   And give in to all these people   That say I can't do it   I don't wanna prove 'em all right      I'll take my licks and keep on   Getting up swinging   Is that all you got? Bring it   So what I'm beat up and I'm bruised   I didn't come here to lose, no      I don't wanna go home   And give in to all these people   No, I don't wanna prove 'em all right   Ain't going back home, no, no      I'll take my licks and keep on   Getting up swinging   Is that all you got? Bring it   So what I'm beat up and I'm bruised   So what I'm beat up and I'm bruised   I didn't come here to lose, no no   I didn't come here to lose   Oh, ain't no turning back
