[Verse 1]

A quiet moment before the champ goes down

Through the doors of his decision to fight through one last round

Though he's beaten and he knows it

No way in hell he's gonna throw it all away

So on with the round and into the light

Of all the cameras and predictions, news, radio, depictions

Of a fight he knew he'd never win

[Chorus]

So for the record

It's just another day

All things fade away

[Verse 2]

He stood fast 'til the end and met his fate with a right hook to oblivion

And no one cried

His opponent, young and eager to accept the admiration of the crowd

Paid no attention

[Verse 3]

So down he goes

Surrounded by the faces that once proudly built him up

Built him up

Now he lies, surrounded by those who do not care

Signed, sealed, delivered

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]

He stood fast right until the very end

No commentary about the state of grace he's in

The champion has lost, what will the paper say about him now?

Proven all to be a man

[Outro]

So for the record

It's just another day

All things fade away

It's just another day

How will I fade away?
