There's not a street that you can walk You got to watch just who you're talkin' to They're out to get ya, can't turn your back on a smilin' face Next thing ya know, there ain't no trace of you And this I betcha, some people lose and some folks win It's a matter of what they do
Are you man enough, big and bad enough? Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down? When the evil flies and your brother cries Are you gonna be around?
Someone needs a friend, just around the bend Don't ya think you should be there? Are you man enough when the goin's rough? Is it in your heart to care?
There's no pretending it goes away With every step that you take you pay your dues and I ain't lyin' You got to struggle to see the light How someone's lookin' to steal your right to choose And that don't stop tryin' It's like a jungle outside the door and it's keepin' you so confused
Are you man enough, big and bad enough? Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down? When the evil flies and your brother cries Are you gonna be around?
Gotta keep your eye on the passers-by, better watch your step 'Cause ya never know where the knife would go And they ain't missed yet The strong survive, they stay alive, they always do But nothin' they ever teach you is true
Are you man enough, big and bad enough? Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down? When the evil flies, and your brother cries Are you gonna be around?
Someone needs a friend, just around the bend Don't ya think you should be there? Are you man enough when the goin' get's rough? Is it in your heart to care?
Are you man enough, big and bad enough? (Are you big and bad enough?) Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down? When the evil flies, brother cries (And your brother sighs) Are you gonna be around?
