Living in an attic, working in a basement Scraping it together, pray we make the payment
Got my hero on the wall Whiskey I can drink A place to sit and wonder Why I don’t get paid to think
I wanna put my fist through this town I ain’t a fighter but I’d knock it to the ground I ain’t a killer but I’d let that bastard drown I wanna put my fist through this town
She undresses in the dark, a barely burning fire After a long night of short tips from the drunks and the vampires
Man, this ain’t no fair fight at all It’s a kick in the teeth She’d be the queen of these God-forsaken streets If it was up to me
I wanna put my fist through this town I ain’t a fighter but I’d knock it to the ground I ain’t a killer but I’d let that bastard drown I wanna put my fist through this town
For all the half-truths and flat-out lies For every broken compromise For all the “give it one more try”s More than I can count, yeah
I wanna put my fist through this town I ain’t a fighter but I’d knock it to the ground I ain’t a killer but I’d let that bastard drown I wanna put my fist through this town I wanna put my fist through this town
