Do you know what it's like not to give up?
Do you know how it feels to be hated?
I'm sayin' - do you know what it's like?

And I'll tell ya to -
Tie yer boots up tight -
Yer boots up tight, yer boots up
And take a walk in my shoes.
I dare you to try lookin' through my eyes.
Let's take a walk -
Let's take a walk in each other's shoes.

Do you know what it's like when they're on your back
And they're tryin' to bring you down, tryin' to break you?
I said - do you know what it's like?

Chorus

Do you know what it's like not to give up,
Just to keep on goin', sedated?
Do you know what it's like?

Chorus

Yer boots are tied - and then you run!
