Day Before The Title Bout

Written May / December 2001

lyrics

You were knowcked out in a cheap, new suit
With a sucker punch fit to execute
But everybody's bound to get beat down
Every now and again
So don't believe the hype, my friend
You are gonna take home the belt
And you are gonna be made the champion
Who made himself

And I've got a feelin' that's how
It's all supposed to happen, my friend, so now
It's only a day before the title bout
And you're gonna win

Everybody wants to see the chump du jour
Get floored by the publick paramour
But everything great seems to take place
In spite of the fact
So don't believe their circus act
The likes of you can't be bound
But the gods are gonna figure out who stole their fire
When that bell finally sounds

And I've got a feelin' that's how
It's all supposed to happen, my friend, so now
It's only a day before the title bout
And you're gonna win

But Mohammed Ali could sting like a bee
And the force of your swing
Is gonna knock down a century

And all the underdogs bay in various shades
Of four-part harmony
To the long-lost chords and salvation strains
Of a brand new victory theme

And I've got a feelin' that's how
It's all supposed to happen, my friend, so now
It's only a day before the title bout
And you're gonna win
