The Fight - Avenged Sevenfold

The problem with society’s been how do we teach

And if they’ll believe

We’ll fight this battle for years to come

'til we all accept that we can stand on our own

Grandfather used his hands, he worked them 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

This common place is 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?

Don’t want to 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?

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

This common place is 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?

Don’t try and get me confused

'Cause I do understand

That sometimes people need help

That they may need a

Hand when this problem’s 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 you’re treated so bad

This common place is 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 men conquered, the others had it so hard

But in these day we just complain while there’s no one for us to fight

I guess we’re bored and that’s how we keep us occupied
