[Intro]

I've been up, I've been down

They have fucked me all around

But I guess the world just ain't the way it was

Okay, fine, go to hell

I see all I got's myself

Guess it's me against the world until I've won

[Verse 1]

I've been called a loser since first day of 2nd grade

I've been an alcoholic with one foot inside the grave

And I've been brave enough to say that I'm afraid I'm not okay

And I don't know if I'll survive another day

[Chorus]

I've been up, I've been down

They have fucked me all around

But I guess the world just ain't the way it was

Okay, fine, go to hell

I see all I got's mysеlf

Guess it's me against the world until I'vе won

I've been to hell, and made it home

Then went back again

I've been through hell and broke some bones

I got no regrets

[Verse 2]

And I've been fired a million times, and never even paid

Got a few tattoos on both my arms I'll cover up one day

God made me tough enough to take the snow and sun and wind and rain

But I don't know how much more I can take

[Chorus]

'Cause I've been up, I've been down

They have fucked me all around

But I guess the world just ain't the way it was

Okay, fine, go to hell

I see all I got's myself

Guess it's me against the world until I've won

I've been to hell, and made it home

Then went back again

I've been through hell and broke some bones

I got no regrets

[Bridge]

I've been left, I've been right

I've been back and forth and turned around all night

I've been here, I've been there

I've been all around, and back again, and ended up nowhere

[Chorus]

I've been up, I've been down

They have fucked me all around

But I guess the world just ain't the way it was

Okay, fine, go to hell

I see all I got's myself

Guess it's me against the world until I've won

I've been to hell, and made it home

Then went back again

I've been through hell and broke some bones

I got no regrets

[Outro]

I've been to hell, and made it home

Then went back again

I've been through hell and broke some bones

I got no regrets
