Ben Harper Fight Outta You Lyrics

Fight Outta You Lyrics

They'll look you in the eyes and 

stone you

then turn and disown
you

don't let it 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



I would rather take the punch


than not give you a shot 

I'd rather find out who you are 

Than who you're not

shoulda known better 

than to mistake
business for love

shoulda 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 it take the fight outta you

don't believe the
headlines 

check it for yourself sometimes

don't let it 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

shoulda known better 

than to mistake business for love

shouda known better

than to mistake a fist for a glove







there’s always someone younger 

someone with more
hunger

they’ll say you’re one and only 

then straight up leave you
lonely 

like a transplant patient 

waiting for a donor 

like
a half empty balloon 

after a party in the corner
