This city is sick and Punisher's the cure
A gun in each hand he keeps the streets pure
He's loaded for bear and both barrels blaze
Unleashes his vengeance in a bloodlust craze

He's a one man vigilante army and he can't be stopped
When he hits the streets many suckers will be dropped
Brute force alone, might isn't always right
Who will defend the innocent, protect their rights?

Son of Battling Jack, trained by Sensei Stick
Can't see s*** but he'll f*** you up quick

Lawyer by day, crimefighter by night
Stands up for the weak, upholds justice and right

Black Widow and Elektra keep him on his feet,
Outwits his foes on Hell's Kitchen's streets.

Turns them over to the authorities, but they bust right out of jail
Who will end the cycle when the system fails?

Daredevil and the Punisher, two streetfighting vigilantes with
diametrically opposed methods of fighting crime.
Punisher thinks criminals are scum and should be brutally terminated,
while Daredevil feels that rules are needed to protect the innocent's rights.
While both resent the others methods, while each has it's merits and weaknesses
and ultimately a harmonious equilibrium is achieved.

Comments by Felix Havoc (from the Damage Deposit website):
This song is of course about comic book characters. But I was trying to make a larger point about crime and justice in society. When I read about the acts of murderers, rapists and drug dealers I wish there was a Punisher to just waste them rather than see them put back on the streets to victimize more innocent people. However, when someone I know gets mixed up with the criminal justice system, I feel like they are getting screwed by the system and want to see their rights protected. Like most things in life there are no simple solutions and as much as I dislike most criminals I also don't trust the government to administer "justice" on behalf of the people. I wish the Punisher and Daredevil were for real because they would have this problem wrapped up in no time.

Seventy stories below,
the pavement races near.
Can't see with his two eyes,
but he sure as hell can hear.

He's not a Hero for Hire.
And he lacks a Iron Fist
He doesn't need a sidekick
or shoot webs out from his wrists.

No suit of armor, doesn't need a shield!
No super strength, or invisible force field!
No super powers, but listen up, bub!
He does the same job with just a billy club!

He's a Man Without Fear

There are a lot of guys in New York
In the same line of work.
But when you go into Hell's Kitchen,
You go into his turf.

Doesn't need a gun, Doesn't need to kill anyone. He'd rather they spread the word, And in case you haven't heard... No suit of armor, doesn't need a shield!
No super strength, nor invisible force field!
No super powers, but listen up, bub!
He does the same job with just a billy club!

He's the Man Without Fear

(spoken: Kingpin)
He dragged that lady and a baby from that burning building. He's an H-E-R-O hero.
He's a thorn in my side. Send in the assassin.
(spoken: Bullseye)
No sweat. I'll take care of him just like I took care of his girlfriend.
(spoken: Daredevil)
Fluctuation in your heartbeat. You're lying. I smell your fear.

No suit of armor, doesn't need a shield!
No super strength, or invisible force field!
No mutant powers, but listen up, bub!
He does the same job with just a billy club!

He's the Man Without Fear
