The Boxer (El Boxeador) - Simon & Garfunkel
I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles
such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears
what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest

When I left my home
and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway
station running scared
Laying low
seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only
they would know
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie
Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come on from the
whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare there were times
when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie la

Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie
Then I'm laying out
my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City
winters aren't bleeding me
Bleeding me going home
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
I am leaving I am leaving
But the fighter still remains
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
Lie la lie Lie la lie lie Lie la lie
