lyrics
Dead on my feet
Brought down at the knee
I'll take it on the chin
Just as they say
I'll grow thicker skin
Hold on to a second wind
To say "Will this ever end?"
"Sounds like defeat to me!"
When all is lost all I want is to be comfortable in my skin
"Last chance to leave
Or forever hold your peace
We'll break and break and break
You down, you're not made of stone"
"Rub some dirt in it
And we'll play shirt v. skins"
My stiff upper lip is beginning to bleed again
When all is lost all I want is to be comfortable in my skin
Brought down at the knee
I'll take it on the chin
Just as they say
I'll grow thicker skin
Hold on to a second wind
To say "Will this ever end?"
"Sounds like defeat to me!"
When all is lost all I want is to be comfortable in my skin
"Last chance to leave
Or forever hold your peace
We'll break and break and break
You down, you're not made of stone"
"Rub some dirt in it
And we'll play shirt v. skins"
My stiff upper lip is beginning to bleed again
When all is lost all I want is to be comfortable in my skin
