Correction Lyrics Pacifism Defense by Noah Reid

Lyrics

Forgive me for asking
For not seeing the light
But what's so shameful about not wanting to fight?

It's part of the game
It's part of the code
When someone challenges your manhood
You go toe to toe

But what does that have to do with hockey?
I still don't understand
How do fisticuffs equate to being a man?

On the ice, I've always had your back
If they mess with you they get a whack
If that don't help them comprende
The knuckle sandwich comes into play
You see I drop the gloves when it's required
That's the reason I was hired
I don't make fancy pa**es
I right wrongs by kicking a**es
Without me, most would agree
The game would devolve into anarchy
"Devolve"
What does that mean?

A brawler on ice, I am I won't lie
But away from the rink, I'm a sensitive guy
I'm not afraid to show a feminine side
In fact, during The Notebook, I cried

Twice! it's pathetic

All of these duties I'm happy to perform
But I can't watch out for someone who won't conform
To the code

To the code
To the code

So stop bending over
Fight like a man
Just take one swing
And we'll be a band
Of brothers
Oh, brothers
Telling war stories 'til we're a hundred and three

Boys, if I wanted to fight I'd join the MMA
But hockey's the game I love to play

Is he even Canadian, eh?

Why does an anti-violence stand
Make me less of a man?
In fact, last time the doctor checked
My testosterone was up to spec

Because we eat
We play, we shower
Together, we go
In the corners, we'll be
Friends forever
And forever
By refusing to fight
We can no longer guarantee
That around the ice
You can skate with impunity
No one's expecting you to punch out someone's lights
Just take a few swings and it'll be alright
But until you do, there's a line in the sand
You might be on the team
But you aren't a part of this band
Of brothers

Oh, brothers!
United we'll be 'til eternity
Brothers
Oh, brothers!
Telling war stories 'til we're a hundred and three
