the chesterfield kings – up and down lyrics
i went downtown walkin’ on the pavement
talked to the bum ’bout overthrowin’ the government
big shot no more / smokestack / sidewalk
an’ i can’t take much more!
a generation nowhere in our own country
outside the mainstream, we all dissipate
[i’ll back a man but it brings me down
an’ i can’t take much more!
i been up, i been down
all my friends are underground
i been up, i been down
i can see things clearly now
i said “up!” +++ i said “up”! . .
s+x, with hydrogen, running through my bloodstream
underneath the stairway, i hear the gypsies scream
brimstone hurricane, lost in the acid rain
an’ i can’t take much more!
deadlines, on+time, hangin’ on a clothesline
down on the street, where they’re lookin’ for a mainline
asphalt concrete is dangerous it’s a sin
an’ i can’t take much more!
i been up, i been down
all my friends have come and gone
i been up, i been down
i can see things clearly now
i said “up!”, ohhh, i said “up!”
solo
listen to the radio, don’t know where to go
ridin’ on a cyclone, anywhere the wind blows
downbeat / sidewalk, can’t hear myself talk
an’ i can’t take much more!
i been up, i been down
all my friends are underground
i been up, i been down
i can see things clearly now
