There's not a street that you can walk

You got to watch just who you're talkin' to

They're out to get ya, can't turn your back on a smilin' face

Next thing ya know, there ain't no trace of you

And this I betcha, some people lose and some folks win

It's a matter of what they do Are you man enough, big and bad enough?

Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down?

When the evil flies and your brother cries

Are you gonna be around? Someone needs a friend, just around the bend

Don't ya think you should be there?

Are you man enough when the goin's rough?

Is it in your heart to care? There's no pretending it goes away

With every step that you take you pay your dues and I ain't lyin'

You got to struggle to see the light

How someone's lookin' to steal your right to choose

And that don't stop tryin'

It's like a jungle outside the door and it's keepin' you so confused Are you man enough, big and bad enough?

Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down?

When the evil flies and your brother cries

Are you gonna be around? Gotta keep your eye on the passers-by, better watch your step

'Cause ya never know where the knife would go

And they ain't missed yet

The strong survive, they stay alive, they always do

But nothin' they ever teach you is true Are you man enough, big and bad enough?

Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down?

When the evil flies, and your brother cries

Are you gonna be around? Someone needs a friend, just around the bend

Don't ya think you should be there?

Are you man enough when the goin' get's rough?

Is it in your heart to care? Are you man enough, big and bad enough?

(Are you big and bad enough?)

Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down?

When the evil flies, brother cries

(And your brother sighs)

Are you gonna be around?
