"Showdown" lyrics

"Showdown"

Tough life in the city, no show, no go
Cowboy hat, low buckle, big shades on my nose
In a wild west society, it's a rough rodeo
Can't buy a way out, no money, no ride though

Tempers like a tumbleweed lost in the hurricane
Everyone's a gangster in this "who's got the biggest balls" game
Eye for an eye, no heroes around
No law, no cops on the scene

Showdown on the stage of humanity's play
Who'll shoot first in this crazy ballet?
You-know-who's got the guts to play
Get your .45 loaded for the fight today
Showdown at the point of no return
Keep on going as the lessons are learned
Raise your voice, what you wanna say
Get your boots on right for the fight today

Lost souls in the streets cheat around like alley cats
Looking for a chance to grab the best deal they ever can grab
Same in [?], no show, no go
Wanna help you, my friend, but no money, no friend though

So what's the aim of the blame game, the stories swing
The first in the dirt, the one who's kissing the ring
An eye for an eye, a king for a king
Who needs a judge on the scene?

Showdown on the stage of humanity's play
Who'll shoot first in this crazy ballet?
You-know-who's got the guts to play
Get your .45 loaded for the fight today
Showdown at the point of no return
Keep on going as the lessons are learned
Raise your voice, what you wanna say
Get your boots on right for the fight today

[?] rodeo excess
Strong words of fear cutting through the flash
Breaking the rules, dressed for success
[?] clash in this metaphoric flash

Showdown on the stage of humanity's play
Who'll shoot first in this crazy ballet?
You-know-who's got the guts to play
Get your .45 loaded for the fight today
Showdown at the point of no return
Keep on going as the lessons are learned
Raise your voice, what you wanna say
Get your boots on right for the fight today
