The Upper Hand Lyrics


Since you've been fifteen you were confused,
at that age it's so hard to just be you
you've got your friends, your records,
the only thing that makes you feel whole
you're trying to figure it all out
sometimes you realize the fight is oh-so futile
someone else is telling you you're wrong
[chorus]you know you're right
but no one seems to listen,
they say you're just a child,
so you turn and fight,
for me that is the only way
to step to what they say is the upper hand,
don't let them take the upper hand
don't let them take the upper hand
You wanna go out and forget the day
go out and just make your life seem real

forget your mom and dad
forget about your job, your home, your school
you take so much shit,
your girl said it's over
you think about giving up
but don't you dare give up without a fight
you know you're right
but no one seems to listen,
they say you're just a child,
so you turn and fight,
for me that is the only way
to step to what they say is the upper hand,
don't let them take the upper hand
never let them take the upper hand
the upper hand

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are a ska-core band from Boston, Massachusetts, United States (Bosstones is a play on Boston). They are credited with creating the ska-core genre, a form of music that mixes, to various degrees, elements of modern third-wave ska along with hardcore punk, jazz, and other influences. Their current lineup is Dicky Barrett (vocals), Joe Gittleman (bass), Lawrence Katz (guitar), Ben Carr (dancer, "Bosstone"), Joe Sirois (drums), Timothy "Johnny Vegas" Burton (saxophone), Kevin Leaner (saxophone) and Chris Rhodes (trombone)

Formed in 1985, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones started playing in Boston clubs in the mid-1980s. After a brief period of inactivity due to the schooling commitments of its members, they reformed and released their album Devil's Night Out on Taang! Records. The Bosstones toured relentlessly throughout the 1990s, playing hundreds of shows a year, releasing albums and spinning off the popular rock radio hit "Someday I Suppose". They were eventually signed to Mercury Records. The band appeared in the movie Clueless. In 1997, the success of their single "The Impression That I Get" and its follow up, "The Rascal King" earned them mainstream recognition. In 2000 they put out their critically acclaimed disk Pay Attention. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones released their last album on Side One Dummy Records. They officially went on hiatus in 2003, citing too much time on the road and desire to branch out and do different things. In 2007, the Bosstones announced that they were reforming. They played their 10th Hometown Throwdown in Boston and released a new album, Medium Rare, which consists of rare B-sides, and 3 new songs, including the single, "Don't Worry Desmond Dekker".
