fight outta you

Singer:ben harper

they'll look you in the eyes and stone you

then turn and disown you

don't you let them take the fight outta you

they'll walk all over your name 'til they find someone else to blame

don't let them take the

fight outta you

secrets hide their lies inside hidden alibis

don't let them take the fight outta you

they put the world on a hook

it's worse every time i look

don't let them take the fight outta you

i would rather take a punch than not give you a shot

i'd rather find out who you are than who you're not

should have known better than to mistake business for love

should have known better than to mistake a fist for a glove

it will be in your honor 'til you're not needed any longer

don't let them take the fight

outta you

don't believe the headlines

check it for yourself sometimes

don't let them take the fight

outta you

the lies you live become you

the love you lose it numbs you

don't let them take the fight

outta you

they say that you've arrived but that's just a high-class bribe

don't let them take the fight

outta you

there's always someone younger

someone with more hunger

don't let them take the fight outta

you

they'll say you're the one and only

then straight up leave you lonely

don't let them take the fight outta you

like a transplant-patient waiting for a donor

don't let them take the fight outta you

like a half empty balloon after a party in the corner

don't let them take the fight outta you
