Fight Dirty

I’ve been a nice guy too long, I must make myself strong
Gotta make myself harder than nails
I’ve been learning real quickly, there’s no-one gonna trick me
If they try, well, they surely will fail
Gonna learn to fight dirty, ain’t no-one gonna hurt me
I’ll soon know every trick of the trade
Gonna play crooked poker, yes I’ll be the big joker
I will break every promise I made
Gonna try sterner action, I must have satisfaction
I’m just hoping they think I’m still green
I must wait 'til I’m ready, gotta hold it real steady
When I move gonna make that break clean
Gonna learn to fight dirty, ain’t no-one gonna hurt me
I’ll soon know every trick of the trade
Gonna play crooked poker, yes I’ll be the big joker
I will break every promise I made
When I think of the times I’ve been cheated
And the times that I’ve been badly treated — it makes me mad
Tried to keep all my options wide open
All I get are those promises broken — it makes me mad
And it makes me so sad that I’ve got to change
I’ve been cornered and now I will fight back
Gonna push, gonna watch all those smiles crack — I’ll make them mad
I will show all those people no favours
I have finished with my best behaviour — I’ll make them mad
But it makes me so sad that I’ve got to change
I’ve been a nice guy too long, now I know I’ve been wrong
I’ve been used and I’ve just realised
All that haze has been lifted, I’m no longer restricted
Oh, the nice guy you knew has just died …
Gonna learn to fight dirty, ain’t no-one gonna hurt me
I’ll soon know every trick of the trade
Gonna play crooked poker, yes I’ll be the big joker
I will break every promise I made
I’ve been cornered and now I will fight back
Gonna push, gonna watch all those smiles crack — I’ll make them mad
I will show all those people no favours
I have finished with my best behaviour — I’ll make them mad
But it makes me so sad that I’ve got to change
