Down but Not Out Lyrics by The Spudmonsters

No Guarantees

1995

[Intro]
Dreams of what I might be
Goals, offset by defeat
The future, not quite what I planned
And the present is getting out of hand!
[Verse 1]
Why is so much of my life
Already history?
All I've ever wanted
Was the drive to succeed
I've chosen now a path to take
One with no guarantees
The fear of growing old
Without achieving anything
[Chorus]
Without a doubt
Down but not out
Without a doubt
Down but not out
[Post-Chorus]
Failure is my biggest fear
And fear's just a barrier to my goals
So, no holds barred!
[Verse 2]
Raised in a blue-collar family
My father worked 80 hours a week
He took the time
And gave a lеsson in life
He said, "To organize your goals
To succeed, you must strivе"
[Verse 3]
Dealing with death
I've lost a lot of friends
Robbed of future memories
That could have been
I don't like hearing, "Rest in peace"
The fear of going on alone
The fear I must defeat
[Chorus]
Life can be discouraging
Stripped from youth, security
Life can be discouraging
Stripped from youth, security
[Bridge]
I've been kicked
When I've been down
But I roll with the punches
And get up off the ground
I'm not feeling sorry
"Sorry" didn't make mistakes
With each day, I learn what it takes!
[Outro]
Victim
Victim of life
Victim
Victim of life
Victim
Victim of life
Victim
Victim of life
Victim
Victim of life
Victim
Victim of life...
