"Fight The Fight"

What do I got? Well I got free will
So they don't get a lick from me till
I make my own choice
I find my own voice
Then I'll do it right

They wanna put this boy in their ring
little pain and blood is their thing
But listen here bud
You don't get my blood
Ain't gonna fight that fight

It's a long haul
And I won't be walking their line
I won't fight their fight but you bet that I'm gonna fight mine
And I won't fall
For either their [bad word] or their lies
man's on his own whichever condition applies
man's on his own till he dies

I quit the bugle, ain't no big deal
So don'cha tell me how that should feel
Just cut me some slack
Get off of my back
And let me fight the fight

It's life nothin' more
There ain't no ideals on this ride
But show me the underdog, I'm gonna be on his side
This ain't a war
Well leastways it isn't so far
We're lookin' for love but only to find who we are
Might as well reach for a star

And yet the hardest man on earth
Knows what a woman's touch is worth

I turn on the light
Maybe there's somebody there
But all along knowin' that no-one has reason to care
Fightin' the fight
Statin' my case, singin' my song
An army around me I'm part of but I don't belong
And nobody knows what's gone wrong

man's on his own whatever illusion applies
man's on his own till he dies
