About You're Going Down

"You're Going Down" is the lead single from Sick Puppies' third album Tri-Polar. "You're Going Down" was used by WWE to represent their Extreme Rules pay-per-view event as its official theme song. The wrestling promotion also used the song by making it part of the soundtrack to their video game SmackDown vs. Raw 2010. It was also used in a pre-game video package for the Montreal Alouettes at the 96th Grey Cup and the opening theme for the 2010 live-action film adaptation of Tekken. The official release date was 2 June 2009 but the band had already begun streaming the song through their Myspace page. It is also the part of the trailer for My Soul to Take. When Moore was asked how he wrote the song his answer was, "I asked myself, when you're getting pumped up to get into the ring, what would you want to hear? And that's what came out."

Define your meanin' of fun
To me it's what we do when we're bored
I feel the heat comin' off of the blacktop
And it makes me want it more

Because I'm hyped up, outta control
If it's a fight I'm ready to go
I wouldn't put my money on the other guy
If you know what I already know

It's been a long time comin'
And the table's turned around
'Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down

I'm not runnin'
It's a little different now
'Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down

Define your meanin' of fun
To me it's when we're gettin' done
I feel the heat comin' off of the blacktop
So get ready for another one

Let's take a trip down memory lane
The words circulate in my brain
You can treat this like another all I'm sayin'
But don't cry like a bitch when you feel the pain

It's been a long time comin'
And the table's turned around
Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down

I'm not runnin'
It's a little different now
'Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down

This is hardly worth fightin' for
But it's the little petty shit that I can't ignore
When my fist hits your face
And your face hits the floor

It'll be a long time comin'
But you got the message now
'Cause I was never goin'
Yeah, you're the one that's goin' down

One of us is goin' down

It's been a long time comin'
And the table's turned around
Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down

I'm not runnin'
It's a little different now
'Cause one of us is goin'
One of us is goin' down

One of us is goin' down
