about

From the day you’re born, till the day you pass, life will always throw punches at you. It’s up to you to either roll with those punches, make the best of them and fight back; or to feel defeated and lower your guard. Fist Fighting Life is a song that encourages you to always fight for the life you want. If you work hard, learn to make the best of your failures and keep a positive mental attitude, you will succeed in what you want. The song’s high energy will get you on your feet and it’s melodies will have you singing for days. The song features the band’s punk roots with a ska-like drum beat that makes it sound fresh, yet powerful.

lyrics

You gotta come out strong and swinging
Each round
Punch till the bell is ringing
Make us proud

But you’re never gonna let your guard down
Not even when you’re on the ropes
You’re gonna lead with your nose, always
You will survive

Fist fighting life
Woah
Fist fighting life
For what you want

You gotta take a dive sometimes
It’s fine
You gotta take it on the chin
And grin

And even when your legs are weary
And even if your arms feel heavy
You’re gotta roll with the punches, homie
You will survive

Fist fighting life
Woah
Fist fighting life
For what you want

See, when you start feeling punch drunk,
That’s when the gloves will come off.
You’ll leave the mercy out of the ring and out the door

Swing every blow straight at the jaw,
Swing every blow bear knuckle
Swing every blow straight from the shoulder
We’ll be here in your corner

Fist fighting life
Woah
Fist fighting life
For what you want

You gotta come out strong and swinging
