Going Through Hell

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight
But the fight in the dog (attr. Mark Twain)
Let surprise take a slog
And if you get a knife from behind
Know you’re nice and in front
Do it, do it!

I wouldn’t say a word till I’ve walked a mile in your shoes
But once a mile from you
I’ll utter what the fuck I choose
Wearing nice new shoes
Do it, do it!

[Hook]
If you’re going through hell!
If you’re going through hell!
If you’re going through hell!
If you’re going through hell!
Keep going! (controversial; attr. Winston Churchill)

[Verse 2]
Fall down five times
Rise up six (japanese proverb: Nanakorobi yaoki Fall seven times and stand up eight)
Give the good news by way of fists
The mind plays tricks on the fighter who wishes
Kindness is right and both sides win
Push the limits of stubbornness to
Finish up above the stubbornness of silly limits
Run the ring around your finger
And build the ring around to bring it, bring it!

[Hook]
If you’re going through hell!
If you’re going through hell!
If you’re going through hell!
If you’re going through hell!
Keep going!

[Verse 3]
If you can’t join them, beat them! (reversal of a famous saying)
If you won’t ‘roid up, be friends!
The joy of the fight is the fight in the boy
I’m making this up now, finding a point
Is it if you can’t win, then run
The coming two fists is the fun of the thing
It’s all just lads, and the normal ambiance
Fall or stab and then call an ambulance

I can resist anything, but temptation (Oscar Wilde)
Lead me not into that place
I can find it myself (Rita Mae Brown)
I can resist anything, but temptation
Lead me not into that place
I can find it myself

Found it

Your hero is only ordinary
Is just a hero, a moment more than you and me
You have nothing to lose, but your chains (Marx, Engels - Communist Manifesto)
So it maybe might rain
And yeah, maybe slight pain
Or a day light slayin
Do it, do it!

At the end of the tunnel
There is always light (popular saying)

It just might be a train
Beefy!
