Lyrics : Punch In the Gut

They said come on your own
Don't you bring anyone
Just you, after lunch
In the parking lot, we're gonna settle this one on one

He never wanted to punch no one
Never wanted to land that punch in the gut
Never wanted to cross across the chin
Never wanted to commit that particular sin

He didn't do what they said he'd done
Didn't steal a thing from anyone
But I knew he was an innocent kid
And he couldn't have done the things they said that he did

He never wanted to punch no one
Never wanted to land that punch in the gut
Never wanted to cross across the chin
Never wanted to commit that particular sin

And they give him no choice, they give him no choice
They backed him in 'til he backed them down to the ground
Then the tough boys thought they had their man
They were born to take a stand
But the kid with the different skin
Was figuring out the kind of trouble he was in
When I went to the priest
And I pleaded please to intervene
He said, "No, it's not my place
Let boys be boys, let 'em lose in disgrace"

He never wanted to punch no one
Never wanted to land that punch in the gut
Never wanted to cross across the chin
Never wanted to commit that particular sin

And they give him no choice, they give him no choice
They backed him in 'til he backed them down to the ground
They give him no choice, they give him no choice
They backed him in 'til he backed them down to the ground
