They Are Strong Hands - Punchline

I’m gonna beat you in this human race

Hows a guy get out there with so much to face

I’m a cat in a cage in a rat parade

And I should stay at home

And know no one I know

I can run pretty fast

But so can so many people better than that

What’s wrong with us

We’ve gotta open our doors

And sleep on our floors

And wish for more more more

Ain’t nobody gonna bring me down

Ain’t nobody gonna steal my song

Ain’t nobody gonna bring me down

No no no

I’m gonna take the long road there

If the short way means I’m settling

Because I’m one who takes his victory

By his patience and his pride

A moment

Of this torment

Makes it worth it

When I see how the story ends: I’ve made it

Ain’t nobody gonna bring me down

Ain’t nobody gonna steal my song

Ain’t nobody gonna bring me down

No no no

I turn the radio on to the saddest songs

The memories haunt me

The stereo taunts me

I’m turning down the volume

Singing my own song

Cause I’m so much stronger

Ain’t nobody gonna bring me down

Nobody’s gonna steal my song

Ain’t nobody gonna bring me down

No no

Ain’t nobody gonna bring me down

Cause my boy John Beatz got my back

Ain’t nobody gonna bring me down

No no no

I turn the radio on to the saddest songs

The memories haunt me

The stereo taunts me

I’m turning down the volume

Singing my own song

Cause I’m so much stronger

Hey I’m so much stronger

Ain’t nobody gonna bring me down

Ain’t nobody gonna bring me down

Ain’t nobody gonna bring me down

No
