the fighter

Gym Class Heroes

Just waking up in the morning with the beat well
Quite honest with ya I ain't really sleep well
Ya ever feel like your train a thoughts been derailed?
That's when you press on [...]

Half the population's just waitin to see me fail
Yeah right, you're better off trying to freeze hell
Some of us do it for the females
And others do it for the retails

But I do it for the kids, life's tough, time to head on
Everytime you fall it's only making your chin strong
And I be in your quarter like mid, baby, til the end
Or when you hear this song from that big lady

Until the referee rings the bell
Until both your eyes start to swell
Until the crowd goes home
What we gonna do ya'll?

[Ryan Tedder:]
Give em hell, turn their heads
Gonna live life til we're dead
Give me scars, give me pain
Then just save me, save me, save me
There goes a fighter
There goes a fighter
Here comes a fighter
That's what they'll say to me, say to me
Say to me, this one's a fighter

You need to block the last thirty rounds
There's no reason you should ever have your head down
Six foot five, two hundred and twenty pounds
Hailing from rock bottom, loserville, nothing town

Text book version of the kid going nowhere fast
And now I'm yelling kiss my ass
It's gonna take a couple right hooks a few left jabs
For you to recognize that you really ain't got it bad

Until the referee rings the bell
Until both your eyes start to swell
Until the crowd goes home
What we gonna do ya'll?

[Ryan Tedder]
Give em hell, turn their heads
Gonna live life til we're dead
Give me scars, give me pain
Then just save me, save me, save me
There goes a fighter
There goes a fighter
Here comes a fighter
That's what they'll say to me, say to me
Say to me, this one's a fighter (Everybody put yo hands up)

What we gonna do?
What we gonna do?
What we gonna do?
What we gonna do? Y'all
What we gonna do?
What we gonna do?
What we gonna do? Y'all
You know what we gonna do

If you fall pick yourself up off the floor (get up)
And when your bones can't take no more
Just remember what you're here for
Cuz I know imma damn sure

[Ryan Tedder]
Give em hell, turn their heads
Gonna live life til we're dead
Give me scars, give me pain
Then just save me, save me, save me
There goes a fighter
There goes a fighter
Here comes a fighter
That's what they'll say to me, say to me
Say to me, this one's a fighter

Till the referee rings the bell
Till both ya eyes start to swell
Till the crowd goes home
What we gonna do kid?
