Hard-hitting verse

 

To each his own

to the dog a bone

to the chick some grain

to the miller a stone.

 

In a dead-end street

strange people you meet,

yet when they take you down

get back on your feet.

 

So put away the crack,

put away the smack,

open up your heart

and get yourself back.

 

Back inside, under your skin

‘cause you know damn well what shape you’re in.

 

But it’s up to you to come out on top

to reign supreme and make the hammer drop.

You’re almost there, doing a great job,

just remember: only you can make it stop.

 

At the end of the night,

an unholy fight,

remain true to your heart

change wrong to right.

 

Yes, the road is long

and you’ll have to be strong,

but when you face the music

it’s not the same, but a brand-new song.
