I begged for mercy
called out in pain
No one seemed to hear me
It's like I don't have a name
I'm done crying
I've got no more tears
You can't hurt me anymore
At least now I know where I stand
You won't take away my dignity
cause I am still a man
I used to have a job
but they shut it down
put the blame on the union (like they always do)
and now it's some fore in town
I am done crying
I 've got no more tears
You can't use me anymore
At least now I know where I stand
but you won't take away my dignity
cause I am still a man
They took the house
when I lost my job
left us out in the street (yes they did)
what you picked us the wrong
I am done crying
I've got no more tears
I can't give you anymore money
At least now I know where I stand
You can't take away my dignity
cause I am still a man
I am a man
and it's always so much a man can give up
so it's so much, so much a man can lose
when all the odds all the odds stand up against you
I am done crying
I have got no more tears
You can't use me anymore
At least now I know where I stand
You won't take away my dignity
cause I am still a man
I am done crying
I have got no more tears
You can't hurt me anymore
At least now I know where I stand
You won't take away my dignity
cause I'm still a man
I'm still a man
Still a man
You know I don't have a chance
Still a man
Still a man
