We were all tired, defeated that vampire
With an angel choir and the fire, didn't we ?
Prophecy, told, "Don't you see shoot an arrow at me
Found out they weren't kiddin' us
We thought it passed us by
Till we looked up at the sky
Can this be, can't be right
Guess we didn't end the fight
Dark masters in the world above

Isn't it rough
Oh isn't it rough

Fighting with our friends
In the dimensional bend
There and back again ?

Well, we fought demons and monkey's all right
But you know that we just got used to it
Even Dracula in our world attacking our home
Even then we knew that we were, up to it
We said we found defeat the beast
Then sit down and have a feast
But, it's not done with such ease

Here in the frightening city east

And ask before we go above

Isn't it rough
Oh, isn't it rough
War with no clear end
Fighting with our friends
No free time to spend

There and back again?

We came back down to the earth, trying to avoid the hurt
And wonder if the earth would be happy again
It was nowhere near no, we are no heroes
But we're not zeros when we're with our friends
We took the leap and now we have to go back
And spearhead the movement counterattack
Wasn't it strange to discover that
the masters turned our new home black
After they took everything there above

Isn't it rough
Oh isn't it rough
And we wonder when
We'll go home with our friends
And maybe some time lend
There and back again?

Went into the valley, standing in the rally

IN the city, pretty oh we had it made
We want to work but we're so tired
Unless we saw that evil spire we better closer wade
We used to laugh so abashed
At the boring past and the beasts amused
We have to help them, we can't refuse
Nothing to give, except our power to use
We have to join 'em now, go above

Isn't it rough
Oh, isn't it rough
There with our friends
No free time to spend
A whole world to mend
There and back again?
