Lyrics:
Hope had filled the sky at nighttime.
Diamond in the ring.
Don’t feed your mind.
Maybe I had never pictured bad times.
Brother in the drugstore falls behind.
He’s got knuckles that no longer fit my eyes.
Knuckles that a prizefighter can’t buy.

**I got the world, so I’ll be fine.
I got the sunshine to figure me out.
I’m back to work. That’s over,
Now all I want is fun.
Yeah, my work ain’t hard,
but it’s got to be done.

Tommy left for war with no goodbye.
I never got a chance to ask him why.
But since Tommy always was a tough guy,
I know it’s cuz he thought I’d see him cry.
He had knuckles that could make the devil shy.
Knuckles of a prizefighter held high.

**

I got a war that I can’t fight.
I got the sunshine to figure me out.
I’m back to work. That’s over.
Now all I want is fun.
Yeah, my work ain’t hard,
but it’s got to be done.
