American Slang, 2010
Written by Brian Fallon, Alex Rosamilia, Alex Levine, and Benny Horowitz
Not getting the band any further from the Springsteen comparisons, this blazing rocker features chugging guitars, fist-pumping, sing-along choruses, and Fallon's working-class street poet lyrics. The boxer is a metaphor for someone fighting to save a relationship that's, to continue the image, on the ropes. "You took it all gracefully on the chin / Knowing that the beatings had to someday end / You found the bandages inside the pen / And the stitches on the radio."
