Well, there's a rumble in the city, there's a call out for your head

                          Bb majorBb            C majorC
Well, you thought you were a tough one but you've bitten off too much this time

You've stepped on the wrong toes, now look who you've upset

You're like a tiger in the jungle and you can't find your way back
                     Bb majorBb       C majorC
You hadn't played your cards right, you hadn't seen the signs,
                          Bb majorBb           C majorC
Well, you tried to run the whole game, now you've come to the end of the line
