Contender Lyrics - An American Paradox - Strung Out

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 camera and predictions, news radio depictions 

of a fight he knew he'd never win. 

So for the record it's just another day, all things 

fade away. He stood fast 'till the end and met his 

fate with right hook to oblivion and no one cried 

His opponent young and eager to accept the admiration 

of the crowd paid no attention. So down he goes 

surrounded by the faces that once proudly, only built him 

up. Now he lies surrounded by the one who do not care 

Signed, sealed, delivered. He stood fast right until the 

very end, no commentary about the sate of grace he's in. 

So for the record, it's just another day. All things fade away 

It's just another day, how will i fade away.
