The Hudson Falcons - Fight The Good Fight lyrics

From the factories to the fields to wherever darkness wields its knife To the hearts of freedom beating For those who have a burning deep down inside that scares them to d**h but keeps them alive In the middle of the battlezone surrounding No matter how many battles are won, the war will continue to rage on With their unlimited weapons of media, power and money And just when you feel all hope is lost, you hear of someone with their life they've paid the cost You return to the fight a little more scarred, a little more determined Everyone else around you wallows in the abyss of mediocrity But you're all consumed with the altruistic vision that every person should be free But through every cloudy night, your only driving force is to do what's right You never give in, you keep fighting the good fight You fight for one person to get a second chance and you fight for the ma**es to be able to dance In a freedom drenched field of dignity and justice Your heart well it must be strong, and your soul true enough to carry on As you lose your mind in the midst of all the shambles The odds are stacked so high, its so much easier to resign Yourself to live your life the way they told you We know we're strong enough to survive, but we'll be damned if our kids have to live their lives With the same kind of hopelessness and utter despair We can't protect them from every evil they see but we can fight for them to live free With a little self worth and liberty screaming And those that came before us and worked all their lives Never made it ahead, let alone, couldn't even get by Never got to enjoy what they worked so hard for For our children who have yet to come, and our parents and grandparents who fought on and on and on That forges the unyielding pa**ion for the fight of freedom They're gonna think we're crazy and look down on us We may be poor, but our souls are righteous And I'd rather be damned than live how they told me to
