Suckerpunch Lyrics by Pain

Suckerpunch

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.
