Lyrics
The Heroes Corner Words and Music by Wyatt Scott (And in this corner, weighing in at 15 tons of punk rock brilliance) Well it was you guys That saved a wretch like me I was blind before I heard you Now I fucking see The Devil only knows What I’d be without you The fountain of inspiration The elixir of youth When I couldn’t walk You slung me on your backs Traversing the landmines Avoiding society’s cracks (Joe) Strummer, (Duane) Peters, (Tim) Armstrong Thank you for whatcha do You wrote the punk rock bible That I’m paying homage to And now it’s my turn Bringing you the hits With a left right body blow uppercut Admit it this is the shit boy! Got you up against the ropes kid In the Heroes Corner Do you think that you can cope man? In the Heroes Corner I didn’t heed the call-up I was too smart for that Cause there ain’t been one honest war You know it and that’s the fact The almighty dollar’s Been behind every one If Uncle Sam comes calling Boy just turn and run My words are my ammo Lyrical bombs rain/(reign) down on you With a left right body blow uppercut Whatcha gonna do? Hey! Got you up against the ropes kid In the Heroes Corner Do you think that you can cope man? In the Heroes Corner A thinking man’s Yob Rebel with a clue Been fighting my whole life Got no problems fighting you! These fools just don’t get it You rockers sacrificed yourselves Fighters for the freedom Going thru some hell Reminding us Just why we’re here To feel some real passion Man I’m shedding a tear Cause what else in this crazy World Has made me feel so good With a left right body blow upper cut Coming at you like the Raging Bull Got you up against the ropes kid In the Heroes Corner Do you think that you can cope man? In the Heroes Corner And when you’re flat on your back Laid out on the mat Think you can’t get up Punk rock power is what you lack From a fall to standing tall Yeah, it’ll make you strong And we’ll come out swinging together From the Heroes Corner Hey Ho!
