The Real McCoy

I was with him when we fought in the streets
I was with him when we fought on the ground
Never learned to lie down in defeat
Always going out of bounds
Space is dark it looks lonely today
That's the view on the screen
They're throwing rocks; say your feet are made of clay
But I could never be that mean

I said Jim;
Why do I follow you around?
I said Jim;
Don't you know what's going down?
They said you're brave
And you've seen it all
You had it made
But you heard the call, Jim

When they told us the word was no
You said you were going anyhow
We've traveled far, farther than they'd go
But we never lost more than we found
Now man your hair is getting gray
And you tell me you're feeling old
Some think we ought to stay away
But we never do what we're told

I said Jim;
Why do I follow you around?
I said Jim;
Don't you know what's going down?
They said you're brave
And you've seen it all
You had it made
But you heard the call, Jim

Now they say we've got to give them the keys
But you don't listen to them
They think they're right but we know that they're wrong
And you don't like to lose
They say we're old and we're out of date
Maybe that is true
But try and stop us now, it's too late
'Cause nothing ever stops you

I said Jim;
Why do I follow you around?
I said Jim;
Don't you know what's going down?
They said you're brave
And you've seen it all
You had it made
Through the rise and fall, Jim

I am standing on this mountain top
And I can see for miles around
You can cheat the rules and give it all you got
It's hard to lose so much not now

I am standing on this mountain top
And I can see for miles around
You can cheat the rules and give it all you've got
It's hard to lose so much not now
It's hard to lose so much now now!

I need you now
I need you now
Can't lose you now
Not now
I need you now now
I need you now!
