lyrics

two hard-nosed heroes
stalwart and stubborn
hot as an oven

standing brow to brow
one smaller than the other
tough as a mother

how’s it gonna be
when you can’t back down
can’t show weakness
can’t forget it
you’re in the deep end

now you gotta sink or swim
now you gotta hit him or he’ll hit you first
now you done yourself in
you won’t get out of this without getting hurt

bloody and bruised
you lose your shirt
you scorch the earth

take what you can
show them you’re a man
don’t let another man punk you

it’s the neighborhood rules
somebody has to lose
it’s your move

now you gotta sink or swim
now you gotta hit him or he’ll hit you first
now you done yourself in
you won’t get out of this without getting hurt

it's the neighborhood rules
somebody has to lose
it's your move
