Avenged Sevenfold - The Fight Lyrics

Send "The Fight" ringtones to your cell

The problem with society's been how do we teach 
And if they'll believe
We'll fight this battle for years to come 
'till we only accept that we can stand on our own

Grandfather used his hands, he worked them to the bone (to the bone)
Provide his family with a happy home, alone

Don't take your aggression out on me
My own man is all I'm meant to be
It's commonplace, it's so lazy, old, and tired 
All your ideas are so fucking inspired
Takes more than one idea 
More than one person to fight the fight 
How many times have you taught and not conspired? 

Don't wanna be, they never say 
But don't call us the liars

We've walked these alleys a thousand times 
And scattered around a thousand lies
They are trying to hold you down 
Your life may be hard, but keep your feet on the ground

Why don't I have the finer things that others have? (that others have)
The chance is there if you want it all that bad
So bad

Don't take your aggression out on me
My own man is all I'm meant to be
It's commonplace, it's so lazy, old, and tired 
All your ideas are so fucking inspired
Takes more than one idea 
More than one person to fight the fight 
How many times have you taught and not conspired? 

Don't try and get me confused
Cause I do understand
And sometimes people need help
That they may need a
Hand when this problems going on

A thing you have to get straight 
Is that you don’t own my hand
And I don't owe you a thing
So don't think about how sorry 
You feel when now your treated so bad

It's commonplace, it's so lazy, old, and tired 
All your ideas are so fucking uninspired
Takes more than one idea 
More than one person to fight the fight
How many times have you taught and not conspired? 

And as a race we look back and we've come so far
While some may conquer
The others had it so hard
But instead we just complain 
While there's no one for us to fight
I guess we're born and it's how we keep our side to pay
