Story Behind the Song
The song ain't Beethoven - it was written after the Tyson-Holyfield fight (where Tyson chomped some lobe) and Afraid? began to feel that something was up - but we were onto it - and we thought we'd let the world know...WE SEE YOU, THIRD MAN (LOL)
Lyrics
THIRD MAN IN THE RING
Lights are up, let’s get it on
You play the game
You’re the icon, the Don Juan
Known by your name
Violence, it’s worth the cent
We’ll drink the booze
Help write the outcome
Or your checkbook sings the blues
(You’ve got)
To pay for your pretension
You live in two dimensions
You’ll pay for your intention
Exercise my intervention
3rd man in the ring
The 3rd man in the ring
The God who pulls the strings
The 3rd man in the ring
Dressing rooms, and rendezvous
You’re in the fast
Never made to forget the fact that
You are the man
I refuse to pay
What you take away
Your powdered nose
‘Cause you’re in the fix, you’re a part of the mix
And everybody knows
(You’ve got)
To wrestle with your conscience
Be a man who’s all but honest
Break the side, break the promise
I break the silence
3rd man in the ring
The 3rd man in the ring
The God who pulls the strings
The 3rd man in the ring
You think your invisible
But I know I can see you
You think you’re invincible
But I know I can beat you
I see you, 3rd man
I’m onto you, 3rd man
I expose you, 3rd man
I challenge you, 3rd man
You wanna see a fight?!
I’ll show you a fight!!
Brooklyn style, motherfucker!!
