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
A 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 that fight
But you bet that I'm gonna fight mine
And I won't fall
For either their truth or their lies
A man's on his own whichever condition applies
A man's on his own till he dies

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

It's like nothing more
There ain't no ideals on this ride
But show me the underdog
I'm gonna be on his side
And this ain't no war
Well, leastways it isn't so far
We're looking 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

Turn on the light
And maybe there's somebody there
But all along knowing
That no one has reason to care
Fighting 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
A man's on his own whatever illusion applies
A man's on his own till he dies

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