When life kicks you in the teeth
You pick yourself up
And carry on walkin'
Past the pummeled chap
Left gutted in the noggin'

Nothin' ever leaves
But nothin' ever stays
Just scars cut in steel
Lingers on the flesh
Wounds fairly dealt in battle-fury zeal

Brothers fight and die
In war and in the streets
Their lives are fuckin' waste
Left rottin' in the gutter
But there's worse I've faced

Livin' in a hovel
With a devil in the house
Forged a young boy into iron
A man now grown but sick
Of the rage burning within
