Lyrics to Round 1
Are we winningAre we losing
We can't tell
We're fighting blind
But we'll keep punching
'til we hear some kind of bell
We keep slugging
Are we landing
Body blows
We're on our feet
But what the score is
Only our manager knows
We're a little bit tired
Slowing down
Slowing down
And it's only Round 1
Digging for power
Digging for drive
They gotta come
Can't afford to be tired
Or to slow down
It's only Round 1
We got the power
We will survive
At least for Round 1
Are we cunning
Are we clumsy
Are we ace
We're contending
But who's opposing
We can't seem to see the face
Keep on moving
We keep hearing
Someone shout
We're working nice
But can't help wondering
What this fight is all about
We're a little bit punchy
Winding down
Winding down
And it's only Round 1
Digging for power
Digging for drive
They gotta come
Can't afford to be punchy
Or to wind down
It's only Round 1
We get the power
We will survive
At least for Round 1
Round 1
