I feel my fist impact your face,
I want you to be a disgrace,
Someone else chasing me, someone else to fight,
Because I know I have to try to fight with all my might.
I want you to be a disgrace of person, a disgrace of a soul,
But inside I know that I know. . .

And I know, and I know,
I guess I ought to know
That we’re both just fighting to survive
It didn’t come as a surprise.
But why couldn’t you be horrible,
Why can’t you be deplorable!
If you were I could fight without holding back,
If you were I could focus enough to attack.

So you’re trying to feed your family
I’m trying hard just feed my belly.
You have to be such a great person,
You have to have pictures in your wallet of your son.
If only I wasn’t forced to steal it,
If only this work wasn’t my meal ticket.

And I know, and I know,
I guess I ought to know
That we’re both just fighting to survive
It didn’t come as a surprise.
But why couldn’t you be horrible,
Why can’t you be deplorable!
Why can’t there be some other way?
Why couldn’t I be a different person just for today?

I feel the gun rest within my hands,
Cold harsh metal stolen, it was from my dad’s.
I don’t want to shoot, inside I hope I don’t have to,
Because I can tell your good, I can see right through you.
Why did you have to own this gas station?
Why are you the type of person inside the action?

And I know, and I know,
I guess I ought to know
That we’re both just fighting to survive
It didn’t come as a surprise.
Not when you shot me,
Not that you defended your wife.
Why were you both working,
Why did I have to be robbing?

So inside I know I am dead with reason,
In a fight for survival mercy is treason.
And you know in your heart that it’s not your fault,
But you still ask why you stilled such a young heart.
I know that we were just fighting to survive,
The fact that I died isn’t a surprise.
