don't give me no comic book, sad looks no more



please don't use those same excuses you've used before



mmmmm... mmmmm...



you told yourself so many times it's okay



so eager to try but you just dont know how to come back down



and now...





CHORUS:



(beat me up and bring me down hope that i'll come around, kick me when i'm on



the ground



beatin' me up or bringin' me down, hopin' that i'll come around, kickin' me



when i'm on the ground)





well how about those people i know that you know the ones i mean



not so good, not so bad, only know what they have, and they have only what



they have seen



those mediocre bad guys can really bring you down



they can't be defeated and you know they're never gonna come around





CHORUS:



(beat me up and bring me down hope that i'll come around, kick me when i'm on



the ground



beatin' me up or bringin' me down, hopin' that i'll come around, kickin' me



when i'm on the ground)





well somebody's something was left in the room



and now that it's gone of course we assume



that somebody else needed something so bad



that they took everything that somebody had.





somebody saw him jump yeah but nobody saw him slip



i guess he lost alot of hope and then he lost his grip



and now he's lying on the freeway in the middle of this mess



guess we lost another on just like the other one





CHORUS:



(beat me up and bring me down hope that i'll come around, kick me when i'm on



the ground



beatin' me up or bringin' me down, hopin' that i'll come around, kickin' me



when i'm on the ground)
