When the time came for you to step up
You declined
Said, No thank you I will keep my mouth shut
'Cause I'm so inclined
It really hurt me that you didn't act
On my behalf
I wish you'd tell them to go fuck themselves
Just for a laugh
Show some guts, kick some butts
I got me a wound that won't heal
I got me a wound that won't heal
No matter how I feel
No matter how I feel
I got me a wound that won't heal
When the time came for you to do right
You did wrong
You slinked back down in your comfy shell
And sang your same old song
It really broke my heart you didn't stand up
And make it perfectly clear
That if someone ever puts me down
They'll get a Bronx cheer
Show some guts. kick some butts
When the time came to give 'em hell
You gave 'em squat
Now when you say that you have my back
It means naught
We all need someone to stand up for us
In our hour of need
But you stuck the knife square in my back
And watched me bleed
Show some guts, kick some butts
