When I was a child I never thought I'd live in your shadow This weary battle Every time you smiled I saw a peaceful man stuck debating Was it worth the hating So I looked you up in the record books For the saddened scars and the angry looks You wouldn't believe how much time it took Your iodine in a memory And I found what I could prove of you That you'd had a government issue too I guess that's just what Americans do In such a violent country And if I sang for peacetime Your gloves, would they finally fall And if I bring you limericks pretty enough Would my name be worthy of the wall My time at this funeral Is too many blows to take Your spirit in this coward Is too much of a fighter to break I know there's a reason You couldn't stick around to explain the why You had to die Without ever bequeathing That Irish jab to your daughter's son Not even for fun So I walk around with a chip and a wince Praying I'll convince every tough guy since In the prison yards and the county jail stints That you really love me And I hook at the helpless and I counter the weak I'm a broke prize fighter at his all time peak All for lack of being taught good technique Against a school-yard bully And if I sang for peacetime Your gloves, would they finally fall And if I bring you limericks pretty enough Would my name be worthy of the wall My time at this funeral Is too many blows to take Your spirit in this coward Is never a fighter to make
