lyrics

You're down on the ground 
You're up in the air 
It doesn't seem to matter 
You just don't care 
 
You're down in the dirt 
Or up in the skies 
All you can do is hang your head high 
 
Ohhh, yeah 
Hang, hang your head high 
Ohhh, yeah 
 
You run out of time 
You run out of cash 
You're busting your brain 
You're busting your ass 
 
You leap in the air 
You think you can fly 
You fall to the earth  
But hang your head high 
 
Ohhh, yeah 
Hang, hang your head high 
Ohhh, yeah 
 
It's so sad, it's so so sad 
Counting all the love that you think you had 
It's so sad, it's so so sad 
Watching everything turn from good to bad 
 
Ohhh, yeah 
Hang it up, hang it up 
Ohhh, yeah 
 
I once met a girl with diamonds for eyes 
She looked at me once, I was hypnotized 
It's over so fast, you don't realize 
And all you can do is hang your head high 
 
Ohhh, yeah 
Hang, hang your head high 
Ohhh, yeah 
 
Ohhh, yeah 
Hang, hang your head high 
Ohhh, yeah 
Ohhh, yeah 
Hang it up, hang it up 
Ohhh, yeah 
Hang your head high 
Ohhh, yeah
