A augmentedA
All through the ages, the wise men and sages

Have said there are dirty deeds that simply must be done
To keep society going and the benefits flowing

There's a simple necessity of hurting someone
It makes strength and agility, taking responsibility

When the red blood starts coming, just think of it as plumbing
E MajorE A augmentedA
If you've got a problem you must flush it out

E MajorE B7B7
I'm the only one quite nuts enough
E MajorE A augmentedA
To admit it, they all hid it
E MajorE D MajorD
But I'm standing right here proud
E MajorE A augmentedA
His head held high, unbowed

I'll shout it right out loud
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
He did it, I did it, he did it
