What Are We Fighting For?
Battle flag in the bassinet
Oil and blood on the bayonet
Crowded downtown hit the floor
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
The world got smaller but the bombs got bigger
Holocaust on a hairpin trigger
Aint no game so forget the score
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What will I tell my daughter?
What will you tell your son?
Where were all the doves?
That we were nothing but a shadow,
a faceless generation devoid of love?
The crucifix ain't no baseball bat
Tell me what kind of God is that?
Ain't nothing more godless than a war
So what are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What will I tell my daughter?
What will you tell your son?
Where were all the doves?
That we were nothing but a shadow,
A faceless generation?
What are we fightin' for?

Like Every Time Before
If you'd only realise
I'd been happy with you once before
Can't you let it be the same and more
Without you fightin' me, fightin' me
If you could only look into my eyes
Then you would see the truth within them lies
That I am trying hard to bring us back together
You try so hard to complicate our love
But underneath it all it's pride my love
That's hurting us and keeping us apart
If you'd only realise
I'd been happy with you once before
Can't you let it be the same and more
Without you fightin' me, fightin' me
break
If you'd only realise
I'd been happy with you once before
Can't you let it be the same and more
Without you fightin' me, fightin' me
I start to wonder if it's worth it all
But then I look at you and start to fall
In love again like every time before
Umm in love again like every time before
Oh in love again like every time before

Bend A Little
By: jimmy buffett, buzz cason
1971
Evil, it's been here all along
Good things, they just seem to have come and gone
In my life i have seen so much go wrong
And there's only one way left for us to get along
Chorus:
You got to bend a little one way or the other
You got to leave your mind open to discover
Seems i've been fightin' it all along
You got to bend a little no matter which side you're on
Or soon you'll be gone
Papers, they print it every day
Housewife, wraps the garbage then throws it away
I don't guess she thinks they have that much to say
But when the time is right she'll be the lady with so much to pay
Chorus:
You got to bend a little one way or the other
You got to leave your mind open to discover
Seems i've been fightin' it all along
You got to bend a little no matter which side you're on
Or soon you'll be gone
History, it teaches much too well
Nations, had to rise up before they fell
And my eyes see the story they're tryin' to tell
And tonight i think i heard the final toll of the bell
Chorus:
We better bend a little one way or the other
You got to leave your mind open to discover
Seems i've been fightin' it all along
You've got to bend a little no matter which side you're on
Or soon you'll be gone
Seems i've been fightin' it all along
I've been a fightin' and a fightin'
Got to bend a little no matter which side you're on
It's a long and and dirty battle
It seems i've been fightin' it all along
I've been a tearin' and a pullin'
Got a bend a little no matter which side you're on
Yes i know cause
It seems i've been fightin' it all along
I've been a punchin' and a gougin'
And it seems it don't matter which side you're on
I've been a tearin' and a rippin' and
It seems i've been fightin' it all along

Take It Fightin’
When you’ve got no chance at all,
Take it fightin’.
When you’re driven to the wall,
Take it fightin’.
There are things that we delight in
For the wrongin’ or the rightin’,
But the fool you cannot frighten
(That you cannot bluff nor frighten)
He is King of all.
(Take it fightin’.)
When you’re down an’ out an’ utter,
Take it fightin’;
When they’ve put you in the gutter,
Take it fightin’.
There are things that we delight in
For the wrongin’ or the rightin’,
But the fool you cannot frighten
(That you cannot bluff nor frighten)
He is King of all.
(Take it fightin’.)

The Fighting Kind
You and me cannot agree cause our love's the fightin' kind
Oh yes you did you started it like you start all our fights
No I didn't do no such thing and that a dirty lie
Nothin's ever your fault and nothin's ever mine
You and me cannot agree cause our love's the fightin' kind
Well you've burned the supper up again that's nothin' new
I just figured you'd pack that all on me
Well you're the one that caused it oh it's always me
When you're always lookin' faults ain't hard to find
We delight in pickin' fights cause our love's the fightin' kind
Two lovers both too stubborn to take the blame for anything
So we blame it on the other
Some love is understanding and there's careless love in line
It takes all sorts and mine and yours is known as the fightin' kind
Okay Miss Priss what is it now now I know you done this
What how am I supposed to shave that ain't never been my problem
Now I don't care about you using my razor
But did you have to use my brand new blade
New blade boy it's good that is really good
That's real good to think I went to all that trouble tryin' to fix that nice for you
That's fixed up nice I'll probably keep it for washin' the soap off the wall
Oh there ain't no soap or I ain't got no television in the bathroom
And that new blade that you vedrudged me had already been used
Two lovers both too stubborn to take the blame for anything
So we blame it on the other
What's mine is yours what's yours is yours and so on down the line
You and me cannot agree cause our love's the fightin' kind
You and me cannot agree cause our love's the fightin' kind

Yanks
O'Leary, from Chicago, and a first-class fightin' man,
For his father was from Kerry, where the gentle art began:
Sergeant Dennis P. O'Leary, from somewhere on Archie Road,
Dodgin' shells and smellin' powder while the battle ebbed and flowed.
And the captain says: 'O'Leary, from your fightin' company
Pick a dozen fightin' Yankees and come skirmishin' with me;
Pick a dozen fightin' devils, and I know it's you who can.'
And O'Leary, he saluted like a first-class fightin' man.
O'Leary's eye was piercin' and O'Leary's voice was clear:
'Dimitri Georgoupoulos!' And Dimitri answered 'Here!'
Then 'Vladimir Slaminsky! Step three paces to the front,
For we're wantin' you to join us in a little Heinie hunt!'
'Garibaldi Ravioli!' Garibaldi was to share;
And 'Ole Axel Kettleson!' and 'Thomas Scalp-the-Bear!'
Who was Choctaw by inheritance, bred in the blood and bones,
But set down in army records by the name of Thomas Jones.
'Van Winkle Schuyler Stuyvesant!' Van Winkle was a bud
From the ancient tree of Stuyvesant and had it in his blood;
'Don Miguel de Colombo!' Don Miguel's next of kin
Were across the Rio Grande when Don Miguel went in.
'Ulysses Grant O'Sheridan!' Ulysses' sire, you see,
Had been at Appomattox near the famous apple-tree;
And 'Patrick Michael Casey!' Patrick Michael, you can tell,
Was a fightin' man by nature with three fightin' names as well.
'Joe Wheeler Lee!' And Joseph had a pair of fightin' eyes;
And his granddad was a Johnny, as perhaps you might surmise;
Then 'Robert Bruce MacPherson!' And the Yankee squad was done
With 'Isaac Abie Cohen!' once a lightweight champion.
Then O'Leary paced 'em forward and, says he: 'You Yanks, fall in!'
And he marched 'em to the captain. 'Let the skirmishin' begin.'
Says he, 'The Yanks are comin', and you beat 'em if you can!'
And saluted like a soldier and first-class fightin' man!

Gonna go down fightin
Gonna go down fightin
cause I know that Im right and
Im gonna go down fightin for your love
Well I know what your thinkin
You got me up against the wall
But the higher that your flyin
The further down you gotta fall
Now dont you be fooled by my shakin knees
cause I can fight dirty and when Im scared
I get mean
Chorus
Well I know youre thinkin
That the odds is on your side
But the first thing you gotta learn is
That it just dont come down to size
I can see the seeds of doubt
Begin to grow on your face
If you wanna back down now
You know thats no disgrace

Give Our Love A Fightin Chance
So you wanna throw our love away
So you think we ought-a say goodbye
And you tell me weve run out-a time
Cant make a heart, stop on a dime
You could always walk away
Like you never saw my face
If you wanted to
You could tell yourself a lie
Say this love aint worth a try
But you know isnt true
You heart is tellin you
Chorus:
Whoa...we gotta take a stand
Give our love a fightin chance
We can talk it over baby
Woman to man
Give our love a fightin chance
A fightin chance
So you think youll wish it all away
Click your heels and leave it all behind
But you dont know that in the real world
You gotta fight to keep love alive
Theres a battle to be won
And if bother our hearts are strong
We can make it through
So dont turn your back and run
cause your hearts under the gun
Its a case of do or die
Break down the walls of pride

Kick Willy Rd.

Published by goody two tunes, inc. - bmi
I dont believe the things Im told
Whats goin down on kick willy rd.
They got gang attacks, and some hard cold steel
On the back of my neck, from the way that I feel
Ive been a bad boy, maybe once or twice
I got drunk and shot a little dice
But its alright, comin from the country
I can learn the city ways, yeah baby
And sometimes you know I really feel that way, yeah baby
And they say the fightin helps them feel ok
But its the country life I choose, forget the city blues
Baby I should try and get away
And here they come on a friday night
You got two gangs lookin for a fight
You got the hubley boys and the parnels too
Its the way that they live, the things that they do
I been a bad boy, maybe once or twice
I got drunk and shot a little dice
But its alright, comin from the country
I can learn the city ways, yeah baby
And sometimes you know I really feel that way, yeah
And they say that fightin helps you feel ok
But its the country life I choose, forget the city blues
Baby I should try and get away
Take me to the country
Fist fight, seem to have left someone
My my, wasnt that a good one
Too much, that boy done alright
You know sometimes I start to feel that way, yeah baby
And they say that fightin helps you feel ok, yeah yeah
You know sometimes I really feel that way, baby baby

Bad Blood
Always lookin for a good time
She came on just like a hurricane
Man she was far too hot to handle
Like fightin fire with gasoline
All I needed was compassion
Id been out there on my own too long
But she hungered for my lovin
That first bite chilled me to the bone
Bad blood runnin through my veins
Bad, bad blood is drivin me insane
Hey Ive become a wild one
Im not quite the man I used to be
Just like livin on a knife edge
That woman put a spell on me
Bad blood runnin through my veins
Bad, bad blood is drivin me insane
Always lookin for a good time
She came on just like a hurricane
Man she was far too hot to handle

Rough Housin'
Gettin' loose at the corner joint
That's all we had to do
I said baby, when you cross that floor
I sense trouble in the room
And we were rough housin'
Seemed the thing to do
We were rough housin'
Different points of view
Fancy free, lookin' hot and lean
Most any man's desire
I said baby, when you looked my way
You know you set my blood on fire
And we were rough housin'
On account of you
We were rough housin'
We were fightin' fools
Satisfaction guaranteed
That's the kind of man I am
I said baby, won't you pardon me
But I hope you'll understand
'Cause we'll be rough housin'
Seemed the thing to do
We'll be rough housin'

Yeah, we'll be rough housin'
On account of you
We'll be rough housin'

I've been waiting for years now, or so its seems
I've been waiting for word to come down on whats up
I've been rolling over trying to get some sleep
But the night is cold and someones taken my bed
And I'm cold
More than you'll ever know
Yeah I'm cold
Or so I'm told
I've been waiting for someone to ease my pain
I've been waiting for someone you can see
I've been rolling for years now, or so it seems
But I ain't got a handle on who's upstairs
And I'm cold
More than you'll ever know
Yeah I'm cold
Or so I'm told
Super fightin', super triggin', super trooper action figure (x3)
Wanna take me on? I know ya wanna take me cos you're

A Florida Night
Win' a-blowin' gentle so de san' lay low,
San' a little heavy f'om de rain,
All de pa'ms a-wavin' an' a-weavin' slow,
Sighin' lak a sinnah-soul in pain.
Alligator grinnin' by de ol' lagoon,
Mockin'-bird a-singin' to be big full moon.
'Skeeter go a-skimmin' to his fightin' chune
(Lizy Ann's a-waitin' in de lane!).
Moccasin a-sleepin' in de cyprus swamp;
Need n't wake de gent'man, not fu' me.
Mule, you need n't wake him w'en you switch an' stomp,
Fightin' off a 'skeeter er a flea.
Florida is lovely, she's de fines' lan'
Evah seed de sunlight f'om de Mastah's han',
'Ceptin' fu' de varmints an' huh fleas an' san'
An' de nights w'en Lizy Ann ain' free.
Moon 's a-kinder shaddered on de melon patch;
No one ain't a-watchin' ez I go.
Climbin' of de fence so 's not to click de latch
Meks my gittin' in a little slow.
Watermelon smilin' as it say, 'I' s free;'
Alligator boomin', but I let him be,
Florida, oh, Florida 's de lan' fu' me--
