Ain′t got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain′t got no money, ain't got no class
Ain't got no skirts, ain′t got no sweaters
Ain′t got no perfume, ain't got no beard
Ain′t got no mind

Ain't got no mother, ain′t got no culture
Ain't got no friends, ain′t got no schooling
Ain't got no love, ain't got no name
Ain′t got no ticket, ain′t got no token
Ain't got no God

What have I got?
Why am I alive anyway?
Yeah, what have I got?
Nobody can take away

I got my hair, I got my head
I got my brains, I got my ears
I got my eyes, I got my nose
I got my mouth, I got my smile

I got my tongue, I got my chin
I got my neck, I got my boobs
I got my heart, I got my soul
I got my back, I got my sex

I got my arms, I got my hands
I got my fingers, Got my legs
I got my feet, I got my toes
I got my liver, Got my blood

I′ve got life, I've got my freedom
I′ve got the life

I got a headache, and toothache,
And bad times too like you,
I got my hair, I got my head
I got my brains, I got my ears
I got my eyes, I got my nose
I got my mouth, I got my smile

I got my tongue, I got my chin
I got my neck, I got my boobies
I got my heart, I got my soul
I got my back, I got my sex

I got my arms, I got my hands
I got my fingers, Got my legs
I got my feet, I got my toes
I got my liver, Got my blood

I've got life, I′ve got my freedom
I've got life, I'm gonna keep it
I′ve got life, I′m gonna keep it
