lyrics

"Fight Song"

When Damian was 12 years old
Playing football was his whole world
Every day
A little brick wall
Got something to say
He said it playing ball
Putting giants on their back
One day a sore loser kicked him in the sack
D grabbed his balls and started to shout
That’s all the ref heard and he kicked Damey out
The kid laughed
Damian burned
Next season he returned
They brought him three stretchers, Damian filled em
Coach Henry said “Damey block em don’t kill em!”

All that you can do is rise above
Because the world’s been fair to you
Sometimes that bullshit’s not enough

Grandpa Jack was king of the ring
He was a sailor who beat up marines
Whoever wherever, didn’t give a fuck
Built like a church mouse hit like a truck
One day he couldn’t understand
Why every punch felt like getting stabbed
Through bloodshot eyes Pop looked up
And saw the other guy had a nail in his glove
Men accustomed to uneven scales
Tend to be harder than nails
He didn’t tell the ref, he didn’t call it off
Pop beat him so bad that his ear came off

The games never gonna be fair, don’t expect anyone to care
But you put a fire in a quiet one and motherfucker you better beware
They’ll degrade you, humiliate you, anything to intimidate you
Berate you, take from you, anything they can to break you

Stand up
And fight
