“Oh don't lean on me man, cause you can't afford the ticket
Back from Suffragette City
Oh don't lean on me man
'Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight…she's all right …Ah wham, bam, thank you ma'am!”

“Well now you say you've found another man who does things to you that I can't,
And that no matter what I do it's all over now between me and you girl.
But I can't believe what you say;
No I can't believe what you say 'cause babyI don't wanna fade away.
Oh I don't wanna fade away.
Tell me what can I do, what can I say
'Cause darlin' I don't wanna fade away.”

“You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust.
You hear my voice, you hear that sound,
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground.
You held me down, but I got up,
Get ready cause I’ve had enough.
I see it all, I see it now.I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire.
Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR.
Louder, louder than a lion,
Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh,
You’re gonna hear me roar.”

see the most important parts are the ones that are unseen, cause the wings don't make you fly
and the crown don't make you king”

Gotta get back the feeling and put wind in my sails
And chart a course that gets me back to you, back to you.

But I know it don't come in a shot glass.”
