The Answer
Floorpunch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I did what I thought was right
You got what you deserved
The only answer was a fight
You brought it upon yourself
I did not ask for any of this
I know violence is never the answer
You acted so surprised
How could you think that this couldn't happen
Everyday I heard something new
What did you think would be my reaction
?
