Suckerpunch Lyrics

Suckerpunch lyrics

I’m sick of only making peanuts.
I’m sick of stale sandwich
bread.
I’ve got a plan to make it better
And it begins with a
simple punch to my head.

Another count and I’m down but
I’m wearing him down.
Keeping the faith that I’ve got what it
takes.
Deride my pride but I’ll be alright.
I’ve got a
Rocky II lunchbox with bills in it
And I’ll scrape by.

I have
seen this on some episode
Of Maude, Fish, Chips, or the White
Shadow
Rerun in my mind a thousand times 
Though I forget the
channel.

But I am back in my corner with ice packs and water
The
champ’s right hook changing my good side to bad.
Too late to make a
run for the van
The doc leans in timidly asking about my health plan
I
can see the referee wants to go home
(homey’s got a wife and
family)
And my detractors clap their hands and blow their smoke
(Headline
news in next day’s sportspage.)
With every second that goes by
I
don’t mind my swollen eyes.

‘Cause I bet on myself and
I’m making a killing.
My opponent planned victory, I planned to
lose.
My bookie is crying, my wife thinks I’m dying
But
I’ve got a nest egg that’s hatching in the final
round.

And as I fall to the floor I don’t feel so hardcore
My
teeth swinging loose like a drunk girl’s caboose
My boys in the
corner are pensive and somber
And Father O’Reilly is crossing himself
more and more

I can see the referee want to go home 
(Homey’s
got a wife and family)
And my detractors move their feet and blow their
smoke
(Headline news in next day’s sportspage).

‘Cause I
bet on myself and I’m making a killing.
My opponent planned victory, I
planned to lose.
My bookie is crying, my wife thinks I’m dying
But
I’ve got a nest egg that’s hatching in the final
round.

And the room spins round and round…

The victory
party’s at my place
After my loss and my
disgrace.

‘Cause I bet on myself and I’m making a
killing.
My opponent planned victory, I planned to lose.
My bookie is
crying, my wife thinks I’m dying
But I’ve got a nest egg
that’s hatching in the final round.

You should’ve never
come back.
