No chance to see the lights of the city,
No time to just walk in the sun,
Don't cry, there's a reason for living,
Take a look in the mirror; baby, dying's no fun.

Don't give up,
When you're down and out, keep on smiling,
Don't you frown, give it all you've got,
There's a better way just beyond the horizon,
Oh, yes there its.

Break out of the state of depression, look at the bright side of life,
Well, you may not be what they call a socialite, but what will you be at the end of a knife'

Don't give up,
When you're down and out, keep on smiling,
Don't you frown, give it all you've got,
No, don't give up,
When you're down and out, keep on smiling,
Don't you frown, give it all you've got,
There's a better way just beyond the horizon.

Out on the streets, you're looking for trouble, laying your life on the line,
It's time to shut the door to your past,
Never look back, gotta leave it behind.

Don't give up,
When you're down and out, keep on smiling,
Don't you frown, give it all you've got,
Oh, oh, no,
Don't give up,
When you're down and out, keep on smiling,
Don't you frown, give it all you've got,
There's a better way, just beyond the horizon.
