I'm lit like a cigarette, swinging like a bat
With four knuckles busted and two eyes black
I'm not backing down, gonna stand my ground
I'll show you who runs this town.
We live as bartenders, cashiers, and waiters
We stay up late and we sleep in later
We live our lives, we know what's right
Closing down bars on Wednesday night
Overworked and smashed
Wasted and tapped
We find ourselves here again
But at least it's always with our friends.
Well I'm lit like a cigarette, swinging like a bat
With four knuckles busted and two eyes black
I'm not backing down, gonna stand my ground
I'll show you who runs this town.
In all honesty, you've never given us a second thought.
We're the silent soldiers, the unsung heroes
Gave you everything you've bought
And honestly, regardless of what you're taught
We're not cowards, we're not failures
This is the life we sought.
Overworked and smashed
Wasted and tapped
We find ourselves here again
But at least it's always with our friends.
Well I'm lit like a cigarette, swinging like a bat
With four knuckles busted and two eyes black,
I'm not backing down, gonna stand my ground
I'll show you who runs this town.
Lit like a cigarette, swinging like a bat
Split in my chin and two lips fat
I'm not giving up, not giving up, no.
Not giving up, not giving up, no.
Not giving up, not giving up, no.
Not giving up, not giving up.
