Ambling Alp

Now kid, I know I haven't been a perfect man

And I've avoided doing things I know I can

But if I learned one thing, the tattoo on my arm will burn into my thumb

It would be that

You must stick up for yourself, son

Never mind what anybody else done

Stick up for yourself, son

Never mind what anybody else done

Stick up for yourself, son

Never mind what anybody else done

Now Old Man Schmelling was a formidable foe

But Ambling Alp was, too, at least that's what I'm told

But if you learn one thing, you've learned it well

Until you must get past yourself

They'll run but they can't hide

You must stick up for yourself, son

Never mind what anybody else done

Stick up for yourself, son

Never mind what anybody else done

Stick up for yourself, son

Never mind what anybody else done

And when those thunder clouds are crying in the skies, in the skies

And when those fireflies keep shining in your eyes, in your eyes

Keep your mind for the time, with your ass on the line

Keep your feet, feet sliding to the side, to the side

Now, the world can be an unfair place at times

But your lows will have their complement of highs

And if anyone should cheat you, take advantage of, or beat you

Raise your head and wear your wounds with pride

You must stick up for yourself, son

Never mind what anybody else done

Stick up for yourself, son

Never mind what anybody else done

Stick up for yourself, son

Never mind what anybody else done
