lyrics

well, some men were born to lead, and some men were born to fight
sometimes the trouble appears, and sometimes you’re put to the fire

but then out of the pack jumps big dumb Steve- all 300 pounds of gooney steel
and he ain’t got time for this- he’s gonna set things straight

well, some men are given to fly, and some men are dead on arrival
sometimes the hitch is a wheel, and sometimes the brake is a throttle

then out of the pack jumps big dumb Steve- all 300 pounds of gooney steel
and he ain’t got time for this, he’s gonna set things straight
and when fists meet faces, man, you ain’t got a prayer

could it be that the point of turn has come?
seems to me that the better man has won
let me try and break it down for you, cuz:
big dumb rides with us

well every gang I’ve ever seen from the Dead Tims down to the GDP
coulda benefitted from a brick shithouse like Steve
every gang needs a guy in the back who’ll step to the front the first sign of attack
and that role was made for a knuckle-sponge like Steve

but then out of the pack jumps big dumb Steve- all 300 lbs of gooney steel
and he ain’t got time for this, he’s gonna set things straight
and when fists meet faces, man, you ain’t got a prayer
