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 their 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'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
