It was a day to remember, twice as hard as long That was the day that I convinced myself That I found my god I tip my cap and I step up I fix myself to the right I move right into the firing zone And scream drink, fuck or fight It's just a matter of respect Or is that something I missed This ain't no peace train that you're jumping on So shake my hand and shake it strong And everybody come along Long, strong (am I) Sometimes I can't stop the shaking At least I know I'm not dead I don't remember whose blood this is I've got a hammer inside my head I get put up, I get put down And I don't even try I've burned a bridge, I've burned a whole town 'cause I'm motherfucking fortified I tell the truth or just a gilded lie And then I charge like a bull with his balls tied A heavy dose of reality With a side of piss and vinegar A free drink at the bar and you'll take it A swift kick in the ass and you'll take it
