Prizefighter Songtext
von Rise Against

I am not yours
Bleeding on your dance floors
Gather round the spectacle
Hanging from a string
And are you so tired
As you trembled on the high-wire?
We′re ready now to come down
But no one's listening
I′m drowning in your waves

'Cause I am not a prize that you compete for
Or a horse that you can break
Oh, I am not something to be fenced in
In case I run away
I am not a sideshow in your circus
Or a trophy on your shelf
'Cause I don′t belong to you
No, I don′t belong to you or anyone else


Is this a hell of my own making?
Or a castle in the sky?
Is this fruit here for the taking?
Or forbidden? Tell me why
To these shadows I might break down
To the walls I will confide
Will you watch this building burn?
Or will you run into the fire?
I'm drowning in your waves

′Cause I am not a prize that you compete for
Or a horse that you can break
Oh, I am not something to be fenced in
In case I run away
I am not a sideshow in your circus
Or a trophy on your shelf
'Cause I don′t belong to you
No, I don't belong to you or anyone else

Woah-oh oh-oh
Anyone else
Woah-oh oh-oh

Bathed in light, we come alive
Slow motion coming back around
Like oceans breaking down, hey


And I am not a prize that you compete for
Or a horse that you can break
And I am not something to be fenced in
In case I run away
I am not a sideshow in your circus
Or a trophy on your shelf
′Cause I don't belong to you
No I don't belong to you or anyone else
Or anyone else
