The Contender Lyrics by Yarn

Yarn

2007

Why you gotta push the good people down?
Why do you got to mess around?
Why you gotta act so dumb and loud?
Why you gotta go and do that now?
We're all in a hole
So jump in the ring
You're a contender now

We gotta pray for all those who've died
And we gotta pray for those still alive
Why you gotta act so dumb and loud?
Why you gotta go and do that now?
We're all in a hole
So jump in the ring
You're a contender now

We got human bombs building grave sites
We got smart bombs building more
We got bio-terror safety kits
Being sold in convenience stores
We got all the guns and ammo
Look at all the people dead
So pick up your signs and speak your minds
'Cause something needs to be said

Why you gotta push the good people around?
Why do you got to mess around?
Why you gotta act so dumb and loud?
Why you gotta go and do that now?
We're all in a hole
So jump in the ring
You're a contender now

We're all in a hole
So jump in the ring
You're a contender now
