Lyrics Fight Outta You - Ben Harper, The Innocent Criminals

Fight Outta You

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
Till they find someone else to blame
Don’t let it 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’ve known better
Than to mistake business for love
Should’ve known better
Than to mistake a fist for love
It will be in your on until 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’ve known better
Than to mistake business for love
Should’ve known better
Than to mistake a fist for love
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
They’ll 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
