Battered ‘N’ Bruised lyrics

If you wanna enter heaven Got to break out of hell I’m breakin’ the chains To find the keys to my cell I’ve carried the monkey For too many miles Till he laughed in my face And I forgot how to smile She said Open your eyes And take a look at yourself Now stop living your life Battered ‘n’ bruised I’m so black ‘n’ blue That’s the truth Battered ‘n’ bruised I was the king of the fools But now I’m on fire I took the good with the bad But the bad got worse Livin’ like that You’re livin’ with the curse Like hittin’ the brakes On the passenger side That helpless feeling Leaves you empty inside She said Open your eyes And take a look at yourself Now stop living your life Like you were somebody else [Chorus]
