The Prize Fight – Another Day, Another Struggle lyrics

why are you waiting in the back just wondering how
to make this begin, but under the weight of drugs and alcohol
that have rendered me defenseless
so call me worthless, i know i'm worth this
and i've been waiting all along
someday i'll ride this out of here, but baby
i'll show you how i won't miss home at all

and there's a man in the bar who looks up to you
even though he is like half your age
he's never gonna know what you're going through
what it must be like to have to shoulder all the weight
until you face this year

so put up, and put out, and put in the time
the clock is running out, you gotta do it now
i have much in mind for what to store
but first i gotta complete this phrase
it's like that man once said, you gotta hit the ground running
or you'll fall, before things ever go your way

so now i'm standing in the back just learning how
to keep it going, under the weight of drugs and alcohol
that have rendered me defenseless
so call me worthless, i've gotta have purpose
and i've been waiting all along
someday i'll ride this out of here, and baby,
i'll show you how i won't miss home at all

and th woman in the dark that you're plowing through
is just another flawless ?part of a trade?
so many men that i have known are abusing you
because it just the way you paint yourself on ?display?
what an awful price to pay

this is not what i've been looking for
still it's how i'm gonna spend my day
since i can't count my sins
i'll cover them up like i know they don't exist
still i will not be ashamed

besides this awful purpose, that i tend to show someday
i only have the best intentions, so i will not be afraid

afraid of what they'll say

there's no more waiting in the back
i figured out a way to begin
but under the weight of drugs and alcohol
is exactly where we wanna be
you can call me worthless, i know my purpose
and i've been ready all along
to run ?my calling? out of here, well baby,
i'll show you how i won't
how i won't miss
how i won't miss home at all
