Lyrics
Heartaches, yeah, I?ve seen them come and go
Tears, like rivers did they flow
Winners and losers been around since time began
But if they cut me, I will bleed like any man
Chances I may have missed or lost along the way
Voices raised in anger when I?ve had so much to say
Times I wouldn?t walk when I maybe should?ve ran
If I?m pushed around I will stand my ground
I?ll do everything I can
But if they cut me, I will bleed like any man
They won?t be satisfied till they?ve corporate control
Nobody?s leaving till they own your very soul
I can cover most bets with a ?well that?s rock ?n? roll?
Biding my time for a while I will grit my teeth and show a smile
I won?t let them see what they?ve done to me
Underneath this heavy load
I?ve been victimised till I?m terrified and I?m ready to explode
I won?t part with this bleeding heart ?cause they just don?t give a damn
I?ve done all I can. I?m no Superman, not pretending that I am
But if they cut me, I will bleed like any man
