Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a pretty big deal with a stocked trophy shelf
Son of a whore and a punk from the South side
I used my legs cause I never had a ride
Tried going to the major leagues
But they said they didn't have a place for me
Now my whole town has gone to shit
The only thing left to do was enlist
I don't give a damn 'bout the minor offenses
Cause tonight I'm swingin' for the fences
I'm a force of nature comin' your way
Like the Red Sox on opening day
All I wanna do is hit that and fight
'Cause this kid sure as hell ain't all right
Screwin' up and fightin' just for fun
I don't have to worry cause I can always run
Corprate leaders fighting over my soul
Only point being complete control
TV said I should rebel against the man
When he gives me all my energy in a can
Still got my bat, yeah it's all I need
Now I go by mercenary creed
At least it's better than a 9 to 5
I'm getting high on just staying alive
I don't give a damn 'bout the minor offenses
Cause tonight I'm swingin' for the fences
I'm a force of nature comin' your way
Like the Red Sox on opening day
All I wanna do is hit that and fight
'Cause this kid sure as hell ain't all right
Screwin' up and fightin' just for fun
I don't have to worry cause I can always run
I don't give a damn 'bout the minor offenses
Cause tonight I'm swingin' for the fences
I'm a force of nature comin' your way
Like the Red Sox on opening day
All I wanna do is hit that and fight
'Cause this kid sure as hell ain't all right
Screwin' up and fightin' just for fun
I don't have to worry cause I can always run
