Fight Outta You - Ben Harper, 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

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
