Ali in the Jungle Songtext

von The Hours

It's, not, how you start, it's how you finish
And it's, not, where you're from, it's where you're

At
Everybody gets knocked down
Everybody gets knocked down
How quick are you gonna' get up?
How quick are you gonna' get up?
Everybody gets knocked down
Everybody gets knocked down
How quick are you gonna' get up?

Just how are you gonna' get up?
Like Ali in the jungle
Like Nelson in jail
Like Simpson on the mountain
With odds like that, they were bound to fail
Like Keller in the darkness
Like Adam's in the dark

Like Ludwig Van, how I loved that man, well the guy

Went deaf and didn't give a fuck, no...
No, no, no
It's, not, where you are, It's where you're going
Where are you going?

And it's, not, about the things you've done, it's what
You're doing, now
What are you doing, now?
Everybody gets knocked down
Everybody gets knocked down
How quick are you gonna' get up?
How quick are you gonna' get up, now?
Everybody gets knocked down

Everybody gets knocked down
How quick are you gonna' get up?
Just how are you gonna' get up?
Like Ali in the jungle
Like Nelson in jail
Like Simpson on the mountain
Well with odds like that, they were bound to fail

Like Hannah in the darkness
Like Adam's in the dark
Like Ludwig Van, how I loved that man, well the guy
Went deaf and didn't give a fuck, no...
Oooh, ooh, ooh

No, no, no
Oooh, ooh, ooh
No, no, no
Oooh, ooh, ooh
It's the greatest comeback since Lazarus
The greatest comeback since Lazarus
It's the greatest comeback since Lazarus
The greatest comeback since Lazarus
It's the greatest comeback since Lazarus

The greatest comeback since Lazarus
The greatest comeback since Lazarus
The greatest comeback...
It's the greatest comeback...
(Radio Commentator) This, is the most joyous scene
Ever seen in the history of boxing, this is an
Incredible scene, the place is going wild, Muhammed
Ali has won, Muhammed Ali has won, by a knockdown! By
A knockdown! The thing they said was impossible, he's
Done!
