  • I got it bad
    You don't know how bad we got it
    You got it easy
    You don't know when you've got it good
    It's getting harder
    Just keeping life and soul together
    I'm sick of fighting
    Even though I know I should
    The cold is biting
    Through each and every nerve and fiber
    My broken spirit is frozen to the core
    I don't wanna be here no more

    Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
    Even if it was for just one day?
    Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away?
    Wouldn't it be good to be on your side?
    The grass is always greener over there
    Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care?

    You must be joking
    You don't know a thing about it
    You've got no problem
    I'd stay right there if I were you
    I got it harder
    You couldn't dream how hard I got it
    Stay out of my shoes
    If you know what's good for you
    The heat is stifling
    Burning me up from the inside
    The sweat is coming through each and every pore
    I don't wanna be here no more
    I don't wanna be here no more
    I don't wanna be here no more

    Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
    Even if it was for just one day?
    Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away? Ooh
    Wouldn't it be good to be on your side?
    The grass is always greener over there
    Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care?

    I got it bad
    You don't know how bad I got it
    You got it easy
    You don't know when you've got it good
    It's getting harder
    Just keeping life and soul together
    I'm sick of fighting
    Even though I know I should Writer/s: Nik Kershaw
