Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Johnny dropped out when he turned sixteen
Couldn't stand the rules, didn't wanna believe
Packed up his bag, grabbed a guitar, he's gone
Gone, gone
Chained to a gang 'cause they watched his back
His heart wasn't there, it was across the track
Music was his love, it never let him down, he's gone
Gone, gone
[PreChorus]
And it's harder than it seems
On your own two feet
There's danger on the street
It's a dirty, filthy rat fire race
[Chorus]
Fightin' for life, fightin' for life
It's a dog-eat-dog world every day
Fightin' for life, fightin' for life
You can be the hunter or be the prey
[Verse 2]
Playin' with his band, livin' hand-to-mouth
It's a six-string struggle, without a doubt
Never lose the spirit, never break the bond
Play on, play on
[PreChorus]
And it's harder than it seems
On your own two feet
There's danger on the street
It's a dirty, filthy rat fire race
[Chorus]
Fightin' for life, fightin' for life
It's a dog-eat-dog world every day
Fightin' for life, fightin' for life
You can be the hunter or be the prey
[PreChorus]
And it's harder than it seems
On your own two feet
There's danger on the street
It's a dirty, filthy rat fire race
[Chorus]
Fightin' for life, fightin' for life
It's a dog-eat-dog world every day
Fightin' for life, fightin' for life
You can be the hunter or be the prey
Fightin' for life, fightin' for life
It's a dog-eat-dog world every day
Fightin' for life, fightin' for life
You can be the hunter or be the prey
