You can't take this anymore
Cause even breathing is a chore
Nothing you do matters anyway
You go to work and you get paid
And you're fighting, you're constantly fighting
You feel like you're being crushed
By the weight of waking up
Some people tell you to fall in love
But that ain't enough
And you're fighting, you're constantly fighting
Well you must be thinking
When your clock stops ticking
That everything you've ever done just goes up in smoke
But hey hey hey, there's no way
Because everything we done will be remembered some day
If we do or we don't keep on fighting, fighting
You don't care what happens next
You just want a little rest
So many years still in front of you
You're just working to yourself to death
And you're fighting, you're constantly fighting
Well you must be thinking
When your clock stops ticking
That everything you've ever done just goes up in smoke
But hey hey hey, there's no way
Because everything we done will be remembered some day
If we do or we don't keep on fighting, fighting
I'm just a boxer in a ring
And I don't know what to think
Cause I am always gasping for air
And I've been here for 26 years
And I'm fighting, I'm constantly fighting
Well you must be thinking
When your clock stops ticking
That everything you've ever done just goes up in smoke
But hey hey hey, there's no way
Because everything we done will be remembered some day
If we do or we don't keep on
Well you must be thinking
When your clock stops ticking
That everything you've ever done just goes up in smoke
But hey hey hey, there's no way
Because everything we done will be remembered some day
If we do or we don't keep on fighting
