Fight! Lyrics

Look around and you will see,
The poor state this nation has come to be.
That's why we need to stand and fight.
(Fight, fight, fight, fight!)
It don't matter if you're black or white,
You've got to exercise your right,
To stand up, take action and fight!

Gonna have to fight!
Fight!
Gonna have to fight!

Girl walking down the street,
Guys looking at her like a piece of meat.
They keep telling themselves their thinking is right.
(Fight, fight, fight, fight!)
She tries to talk, tries to speak her mind,
But they don't want any of her kind,
They just want one that'll shut up and spend the night.

Gonna have to fight!
Fight!
Gonna have to fight!

Racism, sexism, bigotry,
And discrimination,
I don't call that democracy,
But that's what this country is based on.
(is based on!)

Man at work gets a promotion,
Co-workers start a commotion.
They don't like him because he is not white.
(Fight, fight, fight, fight!)
This country's backwards thinking,
Believe me, man, time is ticking,
We've got to strive to make it right!

Gonna have to fight!
Fight!
Gonna have to fight!
Fight!
