pulverized
  cast aside
  but i survived
  now fly the flag
  criticized
  opened wide
  left to die
  now fly the flag
  brutalized
  cut down to size
  but i'll survive
  now fly the flag
  deified
  mystified
  crucified
  now fly the flag
  justified
  penalized
  but i survived
  now fly the flag
  learned to fight
  two black eyes
  but i'll survive
  now fly the flag
  all the things i thought i'd never be
  now it looks like they're all happening to me
  battlewise
  streetwise
  lies and lies
  now fly the flag
  lonely eyes
  on my own tonight
  but i'll survive
  now fly the flag
  hypnotize
  petrified
  but i'll survive
  now fly the flag
  glorified
  victimized
  but i'll survive
  now fly the flag
  all these things i thought i'd never be
  and it looks like they're all happening to me
  this one's for every lonely heart
  when they've got you beat before you start
  when it seems you're all alone
  you've got nowhere to go
  beaten down again
  don't let the bastards get you down
  get up tonight
  stand up tonight
  just don't let them keep you down
  and fly
  just fly
  now fly the flag
