Story behind the song
This song deals with the harsh realities of life and how even though we often get knocked down at almost every turn, we keep coming back for more. VP
Lyrics
Well I've been workin' for the man all my life, I've never got anywhere. All these trials and tribulations on my back, no one even cares. Been down on the ground so many damn times, it's hard getting up anymore. And reaching for the sky seems like empty words, when you can't get your foot in the door, I keep comin' back for more. Well it's hard you know to turn the other cheek, each and every time. I found out nice guys do finish last, but I still keep on tryin'. I can't understand this dog eat dog world, out of place in time yeah. Being used and abused down here's status quo, but everyone else it's fine, I guess they lost their minds. Now their black and blue, nothing you can do. When your black and blue, feelin' like a fool, playin' by the rules, yeah. I'm so black and blue. I'm so black and blue yeah Well the all mighty dollar's the only thing that counts in this world here that's for sure. I found out when I couldn't pay my rent, my landlord threw me right out the door. With a hustle here and a shady deal there, is how you must get by. Don't be mistaken someone's watching you, making sure you pay the price. They'll make you tow the line. Till your black and blue. Nothing you can do. When you're black and blue. Feelin' like a fool. When you're black and blue. Nothing you can do. When you're black and blue. Feelin' like a fool. Playin' by the rules. Yeah. I'm so damn black and blue.
