lyrics

don't let 'em get you down
though lord know that they'll try
that's the earliest flaw of man, we've been
fighting each other since the dawn of time

so stay up on your feet
give 'em the old one-two
but if you turn and face at me
well I'll tell you right now that I don't like to lose

if you think my eyes are looking kind
it's cause I'm searching for your weakness
cause I may be going down
but now without a fight
I'm a pugilist right now
I have been for so long
and I might well still be
by the end of this song

I won't be throwing in the towel
till it's covered in my sweat
if you place your money on me
no promise I'll win, but it's a pretty safe bet

cause I've never thrown a fight
no I'd never waste the day
yeah who's got time for that
what with all the consequences we pay

if you think my eyes are looking kind
it's cause I'm searching for your weakness
cause I may be going down
but now without a fight
I'm a pugilist right now
I have been for so long
and I might well still be
by the end of this song
a prizefighter, oh yeah

if you should happen to lose
be sure to thank the ones that did this to you
that's the hardest part of life
painting silver on the deepest of hues

if you think my eyes are looking kind
it's cause I'm searching for your weakness
cause I may be going down
but now without a fight
I'm a pugilist right now
I have been for so long
and I might well still be
by the end of this song
a prizefighter, oh yeah
