Battered

Battered by life

That tries to beat you down,

We live under a system

That knocks you to the ground,

And you’re the only one who can pick yourself up

Because no one else will do it,

Do we have to buck our ideas up,

We have to endure all the hardships

While still coming back for more,

It’s about attrition and life’s like a fucking war

We are not going to survive this

But we must make of it the best we can,

Being you’re own fucking hero and make that stand,

And stare life right back in the eye and let it knows you understand,

That no matter who tough and hard it gets

You fight to survive as long as you can,

Show life your defiant side.
