Prizefighter Songtext
von Youth Lagoon

Hope had filled the sky at nighttime
Diamond in the ring, don′t feed your mind
Maybe I had never pictured bad times
Brother in the drugstore falls behind
He's got knuckles that no longer fit my eyes
Knuckles that a prizefighter can′t buy

I got the world, so I'll be fine
I got the sunshine to figure me out
I'm back to work, that′s over
Now all I want is fun
Yeah, my work ain′t hard but it's got to be done


Tommy left for war with no goodbye
I never got a chance to ask him why
But since Tommy always was a tough guy
I know it′s 'cause he thought I′d see him cry
He had knuckles that could make the devil shy
Knuckles of a prizefighter held high

I got the world, so I'll be fine
I got the sunshine to figure me out
I′m back to work, that's over
Now all I want is fun
Yeah, my work ain't hard but it′s got to be done

I got a war that I can′t fight
I got the sunshine to figure me out
I'm back to work, that′s over
Now all I want is fun
Yeah, my work ain't hard but it′s got to be done

I got the world, so I'll be fine
I got the sunshine to figure me out
I′m back to work, that's over
Now all I want is fun
Yeah, my work ain't hard but it′s got to be done
