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're paying 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 they 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, and your brothers cry
(And your brother sighs)
Are you gonna be around?
Are you big and bad enough?
