Prizefighters
Steve Hackett - GTR Lyrics

Every day, a little harder
Each day, the challenges become more difficult to overcome

Look out boy, you're on your own
Be cautious as you navigate through life without support or guidance

Every day a little softer
With each passing day, you become less resilient and more vulnerable

You don't seem to be on your toes
You appear less alert and prepared for potential dangers or challenges

Its just a job swing with the punches
Life is merely an ongoing struggle, requiring you to adapt and endure difficulties

Pick up your hands, sting like a bee
Take action, defend yourself, and fight back with determination and strength

Prizefighters ... heading for home
Tirelessly striving toward a place of comfort and safety

Prizefighters ... everyone knows
The struggles and sacrifices of fighters are widely recognized and acknowledged

Every day a little slower
With each passing day, your physical and mental abilities decline

Its just the sweat in my eyes
The exertion and fatigue impair your vision and judgment

You don't look the way you used to
Your appearance has changed, reflecting the toll taken by the battles fought

Don't drink that water though it tastes nice
Beware of deceptive temptations that may appear appealing but can have harmful consequences

On the ropes and in a corner
Feeling trapped and cornered, with limited options or support

Just gotta give me one more chance
Requesting an opportunity to prove oneself or find a way to overcome the current challenges

Who makes the money?
Questioning the beneficiaries of wealth and financial success

I didn't spend it
Denying personal responsibility for the expenditure of money

The dice were loaded once or twice
Implying that luck or fate played a significant role, potentially being manipulated against the fighters

Prizefighters ... heading for home
Continuing the journey towards a place of solace and peace

Prizefighters ... everyone knows
The relentless efforts and struggles of fighters are widely recognized and understood by society

Prizefighters ... heading for home
Persistently striving for a destination of comfort and security

Prizefighters ... everyone knows
The sacrifices and challenges endured by fighters are commonly acknowledged

Prizefighters ... heading for home
Unwaveringly approaching a place of respite and belonging

Prizefighters ...
The determination and resilience of fighters persist
