I don’t know what to say
Your biggest battle goes down today
You can stay or you can fight
Your fuckin’ way back into the light
A step too late, you never take it
A step too early, you can shake it
One second too fast, you can’t fake it
Or one too slow, you don’t make it
On this team we’ll fight for every inch
We claw with fingernails for that inch
Adding the second as a beginning:
the difference between losing and winning
A step too late, you never take it
A step too early, you can shake it
One second too fast, you can’t fake it
Or one too slow, you don’t make it
Inch by inch, gotta climb, inch by inch
Inch by inch, every time, inch by inch
I can’t do it for you, I’m too old
I pissed away all my time
My muscles cramp, my heart is cold
I chased away all those who ever were mine
Now I ask you, what are you gonna do
To make it happen in this game
Your mates will sacrifice themselves for you
Are you gonna do the same
A step too late, you never take it
A step too early, you can shake it
One second too fast, you can’t fake it
Or one too slow, you don’t make it
Inch by inch, gotta climb, inch by inch
Inch by inch, every time, inch by inch
