The Contender |
| I could have been a contender but my head wasn’t cold enough |
| As a child my wild eyes made up for what I was not |
| Now the chains rattle and I don’t even care |
| I’m too young to be sure and I’m far too old to be scared |
| By the gun, by the bullet, by the trigger, by the times |
| I could have been a contender |
| By the last drop of blood that I can squeeze from my prime |
| I’m gonna be a contender |
| Well if you think it’s easy, you best come well prepared |
| I live in no man’s land, and you’ll have to kill me there |
| I still love the taste of sweat and I love the smell of blood |
| I love the rattle in my head, I love the fire in my lungs |
| By the gun, by the bullet, by the trigger, by the times |
| I could have been a contender |
| By the last drop of blood that I can squeeze from my prime |
| I’m gonna be a contender |
| You were right to be mad about the things your mother never taught you |
| 'Cause I was there when the upper cut caught you |
| I was there for the ten count |
| To tell you the truth, you’re better off being naked with death |
| You’re better off naked with regret |
| You’re better off make with your truth |
| I’d still put my money on you, I’d still put my money on you |
| I’d still put my money on you, 'cause kid you got heart |
| By the gun, by the bullet, by the trigger, by the times |
| I could have been a contender |
| By the last drop of blood that I can squeeze from my prime |
| I’m gonna be a contender |
