A
All through the ages, the wise men and sages

To keep society going and the benefits flowing

There's a simple necessity of hurting someone
It makes strength and agility, taking responsibility

When the red blood starts coming, just think of it as plumbing
E A
If you've got a problem you must flush it out

E D
But there's no one else with guts enough
E A
To be willing to kick their butts enough
E B7
I'm the only one quite nuts enough
E A
To admit it, they all hid it
E D
But I'm standing right here proud
E A
His head held high, unbowed
E B7
I'll shout it right out loud
E D A
He did it, I did it, he did it

Close you eyes, sweet darling, all through the night

Mama will hold you safe 'til the morning light
