Lyrics
Hey, they want a pound of flesh to let you through the door. You bruise, you bleed, keep coming back 'cause you know you gotta deal with this world. Yeah you know you wanna live in this world.
They'll try to shake you. They wanna break you, but you gotta Roll With The Punches you know they will be throwin' your way. Baby, you gotta Roll With The Punches you know they will be throwin' your way.
Fast as you can turn the page, they're dishin' up some more. They kick, they jab and pile it on 'cause they know you gotta deal with their world. Yeah, they know you wanna live in their world.
They'll try to shake you...
Now you can whine and you can cry. And then you can kiss your dreams good-bye. Or take a deep breath, hold up your head, show 'em your stuff. Have the last laugh instead!
They'll try to shake you...
