I said:

Hey, it’s alright, it’s okay, he stays true to who he is

Hey, it’s alright, it’s okay, he knows just who he is

Pete steps out to catch a cigarette

He’s choking from all the ugly looks he gets

It’s hard to stand all the cold stares

People give to him for the clothes he wears

They look past him and write him off

Forget about him and just walk by

They don’t think twice, they don’t think twice

Of what he’s really like inside, oh no

Got something to prove

Got nothing to lose, Woh-oh Woh

Got something to prove

Your life is what you choose

Pete, this one goes out to you

He wipes his sweat from his broken brow

He’s been in the pit for three hours now

Tells me about his problems with politics

And how he fights for the life he lives

(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

His jean jacket’s dusty and his chains are rusty

And if people took the time to understand

All the things I saw inside this man

They might discover:

(You can’t judge a book by its cover)

Got something to prove

Got nothing to lose, Woh-oh Woh

Got something to prove

Your life is what you choose

This one goes out to you

People call him a little hardcore

When all he wants is just a little bit more

People call him a little hardcore

When all he wants is just a litte bit more

People call him a little hardcore

When all he wants is just a little bit more

(it’s just a little longer till this’ll all be over)

(I can see the sun, it’s rising up again)

(It’s just a little longer till this’ll all be over)

(I can see the sun, it’s rising up again)

Hey hey, it’s alright

It’s alright, it’s okay, it’s okay, he knows just who he is

Hey hey, it’s alright

It’s alright, it’s okay, it’s okay, he stays true to who he is

It’s alright!

It’s okay!

It’s alright!

It’s okay!

It’s alright!

It’s okay!

It’s alright!

Got something to prove

Got nothing to lose, Woh-oh Woh

Got something to prove

Your life is what you choose

Pete, this one goes out to you!
