The Bell

Can you hear the bell ringing in your ears?
You're on the floor looking at your girl kissing another guy, so what you gonna do now?
You stand up and put your dukes up!
No person can ever win if they always give up!
You tell yourself you're not afraid but you know it's a lie.
He throws another punch but it doesn't connect.
The entire world slows down and now you feel like you did in first grade when you beat up
twelve guys all by yourself.
The fight resumes *BOOM* he's on the floor bleeding a flowing river.
Your "girl" run next to you, you wanna hit her too but you know that's not the right thing to do.
So all you say is, " the bell's about to ring."
