Right To The Jaw

Smart alec's always got theirs.

Too many hit the ground.

Sorry but sometimes

They won, as you can't lose them all.

 

Met a few in my day

But I knew their ways.

Some I had to fight

Just to prove they were wrong.

 

Seems a fight is the

Only answer when they push

You around and pride

Is stirred up with a right to the jaw.
