[Verse 1]
Blood in the dirt on my work boots
Cracks in my hands
In the floor
Everybody learned how to look down
Nobody’s walking through the door
They talk big from a safe distance
Cold hearts
Warm on the screen
I’ve been chewing on broken promises
Till my teeth shine mean
[Chorus]
I’m the man to fight back when no one else will
Standing in the crosshairs
Breathing in the chill
When the brave turn their backs
When the room goes still
I’m the man to fight back
I’m the man to fight back
When no one else will (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Scars lined up like war medals
Names carved deep in my skin
Every time the cowards went silent
I was first to step in
Fear shakes like loose metal siding
Storm tearing through this town
I plant my feet in the thunder
Dare the sky to strike me down
[Bridge]
You run
I rise
You hide
I hit
I was built for the fire
I don’t break
I commit
[Chorus]
I’m the man to fight back when no one else will
Standing in the crosshairs
Breathing in the chill
When the brave turn their backs
When the room goes still
I’m the man to fight back
I’m the man to fight back
When no one else will (oh yeah)
