Another knock down, drag out war of attrition Fame to trade in poppy style Full gallop sittin' tall in the saddle Well, look back and let the arrows fly Another hunter has become the hunted In the blink of an eye For every hard won battle, baby There's a losing side I'll give it to you, you're the champ tonight High noon and we're standin' on Main Street All or nothin', and there's no backing out No second thoughts about a reputation Just clear leather and the hammer comes down Living always and always dyin' If only on the inside For every hard won battle, baby There's a losing side It doesn't matter, you're the champ tonight Now you're back on the ropes with an uppercut comin' Another haymaker, and we'll call it a night But you're wearin' me out, and I'm lettin' my guard down A rope-a-dope surprise, surprise And now the crowd's gonna get what they paid for Nobody's takin' a dive For every hard won battle, baby There's a losing side I'll hand it to you, you're the champ tonight You're the champ tonight You're the champ tonight
