i know how it feels

Dropkick Murphys

I know how it feels when you ain t got a friend
You re a long, lonesome way from your home
And I know how it feels when you slave like a dog
And you ain t got a thing that you own

I know how it feels when you walk on the street
And you don t see a face that you know
And I know how it feels to work til you drop
And it s ten thousand bills that you owe

I know how it feels
I know how it feels
I know how it feels
I know just how it feels

I know how it feels when you ain t got a cent
No, you don t got a nickel to your name
And I know how it feels when they take you to the judge
You re down begging God on your knees

I know how it feels when you lay down at night
And there s no lips to call your own
You get up and walk til the morning gets light
Out where that wild wind blows

I know how it feels
I know how it feels
I know how it feels
I know just how it feels

I know how it feels when you got calloused hands
And blisters on both of your feet
You can t pay the rent, so the men take your things
And they throw you right out on the street

I know how it feels to join a union
Speak up like a man and fight
I know how it feels to march and sing
When you know that your fight is right

I know how it feels
I know how it feels
I know how it feels
I know just how it feels

I know how it feels
(I know how it feels)
I know how it feels
(I know how it feels)
I know how it feels
I know just exactly how you feel
