Don't you act like it's gone away I breathed it in
Words worked in and found a way
Under my skin
Hard times are ahead of me
But still you say
Take it on the chin, my son
To win the hill upon which you run is a long one
And you're gonna need strength and pride
Don't provide them with a peek inside
Hide what you got away
There's not a better way for a man to be a man
So take it on the chin
Words worm in while you're unaware
Just how deep they've gone
Course set off to anywhere
But the pull is strong
Steer slowly and steadily
Still you're at the helm
Take it on the chin, my son
To win the hill upon which you run is a long one
And you're gonna need strength and pride
Don't provide them with a peek inside
Hide what you got away
There's not a better way for a man to be a man
So take it on the chin
