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)
