Lyrics: (taken from the Watchmen Homepage)
There once was a feeling that all was
wrong. I'm a shattered young fighter
with hands golden tired I take another
round. Resigned to dealing that all is
wrong.
Fights have gone down by the side of the
road, then candy's done picked me up
out of the cold. If it's a love-quest then I
fear to stay around. If it's a slugfest
then I'm too bad to be around here.
