FIGHT OUTTA YOU
- Lyrics by Ben Harper. Music by Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals.
They’ll look you in the eyes and stone you
Then turn and disown you
Don’t you let ‘em take the fight outta you
They’ll walk all over your name
’til they find someone else to blame
Don’t let ‘em take the fight outta you
Secrets hide their lies inside hidden alibis
Don’t let it take the fight outta you
They put the world on a hook
It’s worse every time I look
Don’t let ‘em 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 ‘em take the fight outta you
Don’t believe the headlines
Check it for yourself sometimes
Don’t let ‘em take the fight outta you
The lies you live become you
The love you lose it numbs you
Don’t let it take the fight outta you
They say that you’ve arrived
That’s just a high-class bribe
Don’t let it take the fight outta you
I would rather take your 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
There’s always someone younger
Someone with more hunger
Don’t let it take the fight outta you
They’ll say you’re one and only
Then straight up leave you lonely
Don’t let it take the fight outta you
Like a transplant-patient waiting for a donor
Don’t let it take the fight outta you
Like a half empty balloon after a party in the corner
Don’t let ‘em take the fight outta you
