The final song on the album is
'Backyard Brawl', a return to the garage sound with a simplistic (albeit nasty sounding) guitar.
13/13 - Backyard Brawl (Cooper/Dover/Roxie)
"Got a cut on my thigh, got a nail in my eye
And I`m bleedin' all over the wall
Got a barbed wire bat and a dude on the mat
Ain`t getting up soon at all
Got a head full of rage and a belly full of hate
I'm the neighbourhood legend that just can`t wait
For the backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Don`t matter who you are, don`t matter what colour
Brown or white'll do
But if you`re yellow you`ll be covered in red
A whole lotta black and blue
Jump off the trailer in a pile full o' guys
Scratching and kicking and pulverised
For the backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Only got six teeth but three of those
Are sharp enough to bite off your nose
At the backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard Brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard Brawl
[Spoken] You think you`re so [beep] tough
You talkin' to me?
You`re mine
Come on, lets go
Come on stitches.."
