From the red dust north of Dalmore Downs
Sharman`s tents roll into town
Telve will face the auctioneer
Sharman`s boxers stand their ground

Their days are darker than your nights
But they won`t be the first to fall
Children broken from their dreams
But they won`t be the first to fall

Fighting in the spotlight
Eyes turn blacker than their skin
For Jimmy Sharman`s boxers
It`s no better if you win
Standing in the darkness
Lined up waiting for the bell
The days are wasted drinking
At the first and last hotel
 [bad word] Why are we fighting for this?
Why are you paying for this?
You pay to see me fall like shrapnel
Tobthe floor
What is the reason for this?
There is a reason for this?
Wht isthe reason they [bad word] Back for more?

The blows now bring him to his knees
But still the crowd calls out for more
The [bad word] are burning in his ears
The man keeps counting out the score
