monkey union – the boxer ain’t dead lyrics
[verse 1]
count me out i’m lying in the middle again
i’m better than the best, the ref’s going to ten
(wo oh wo oh wo oh)
there are eight excuses for getting up on my feet
ninety#nine reasons for not doing so
but reasons do not matter in the end
one two, tell me what i wanna do
i’m govern’d by white collars
three four, i know that there’s so much more
than living by the dollar
[chorus]
i will do whatever it takes
even past the point of breaking
(wo oh wo oh wo oh)
when you find me down and out on the floor
it’s a sign of me wanting more
ignorance keeps me ahead of my game
it’s a curse i cannot shake it
(wo oh wo oh wo oh)
when the bell tolls these words ring in my head
the boxer ain’t dead
[verse 2]
i’m caught up in a constant catch twenty#two
never know what to say or what to do
(wo oh wo oh wo oh)
truth is so transient or so they say
can’t grasp all the fine details coming my way
with a numb mind and bulky gloves
five six, show me all your greatest tricks
i won’t take any notice
seven eight, i just need my daily fix
of the bosses’ “pretty please”
i will do whatever it takes
even past the point of breaking
(wo oh wo oh wo oh)
when you find me down and out on the floor
it’s a sign of me wanting more
ignorance keeps me ahead of my game
it’s a curse i cannot shake it
(wo oh wo oh wo oh)
when the bell tolls these words ring in my head
the boxer ain’t dead
[interlude]
ladies and gentlemen
are you ready?
one
two
three
four
five
six
seven
eight
[chorus]
(wo oh wo oh wo oh)
it’s a sign of me wanting more
ignorance keeps me ahead of my game
it’s a curse i cannot shake it
(wo oh wo oh wo oh)
when the bell tolls these words ring in my head
the boxer ain’t dead
the boxer ain’t dead
the boxer ain’t dead, dead, dead, dead
dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, daow!
