I'm Done Cryin'
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
But you won't take away my dignity
'Cause I'm still a man
I used to have a job
But they shut it down
Put the blame on the union like they always do
Now it's in some foreign town
I'm 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'm still a man
They took the house
When I lost my job
Left us out in the streets, yes, they did
Lord, you picked us to rock
I'm done crying
I've got no more tears
I can't give you anymore money
At least now I know where I stand
You won't take away my dignity
'Cause I'm still a man
I'm a man and-
And there's always so much a man can give up
Oh, there's so much, so much a man can do
When all the odds, all the odds stand up against you
I'm done crying
I've 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
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'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
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
But you won't take away my dignity
'Cause I'm still a man
I used to have a job
But they shut it down
Put the blame on the union like they always do
Now it's in some foreign town
I'm 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'm still a man
They took the house
When I lost my job
Left us out in the streets, yes, they did
Lord, you picked us to rock
I'm done crying
I've got no more tears
I can't give you anymore money
At least now I know where I stand
You won't take away my dignity
'Cause I'm still a man
I'm a man and-
And there's always so much a man can give up
Oh, there's so much, so much a man can do
When all the odds, all the odds stand up against you
I'm done crying
I've 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
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'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
