Back to the days when letters were seal Aloss of the lass of fetters and zeal Back to the days when a man was king for walking the streets proud From the hips and heart and how the ****'s that
Walk the black line muck in get your some Be a man and expect your worth Walk the line and get your ******' *** Be a woman and give it what's worth
The gloves and plither spleen The crowns worn by the man on the street who walks proud
They're swarmin' and puggin' and juggin' and frocking Down the dock or the railway station They're bikkin' and bokkin' hookin' and grapplin' For a piece of the fight And they're fightin' for a piece of it
It's the same old story There's people fighting for freedom And there's people lappin' up cream Surrounded by ***** cats on *******
***** straighten up and fight for your man Box ***** straighten up and fight for your man
Pick n' pack an' slap and dance some And don't just dance for anyone Pick n' pack an' slap and dance some And just don't dance for that ******* man
Spin a coin & come what may Spin a coin and either way When it's laid out in either side Buck up Get on up Get up & fight with pride
Tear stained cloth and sweat stained loss Protect ya brother and sister
The days ain't changed There's my ******* ******* their hearts out for a chance They're toiled and soiled And they got broken against the wheel What they wouldn't give for a sweet cherish with their lover girl What you wouldn't give to go back those years
It's the same old story There's people fighting for freedom And there's people laying down Being pampered by fans and fey
Box ***** straighten up and fight for your man Smell the salt on your straight man's brow
If you let them take your time Your brother may just drown In your own filth and blood If you're a kept pet Then your claws are crimped girl If your ******* a man Then stand up for him Go Girl go for him
The gloves and the plither spleen The crowns worn by the man who stands proud
The gloves and the plither spleen The wrangle and rail The hooks and the jail
The hooks and the plither spleen Give 'em what's got Box ***** Don't stand for it!
