WILLING TO FIGHT.


THE WINDOWS OF MY SOUL
ARE MADE OF ONE WAY GLASS
DON'T BOTHER LOOKING INTO MY EYES
IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO KNOW
JUST ASK

I GOTTA DEAD-BOLT STROLL AND
WHERE I'M GOING IS CLEAR
I WON'T WAIT FOR YOU TO WONDER
I'LL JUST TELL YOU WHY I AM HERE

CAUSE I KNOW THE BIGGEST CRIME
IS TO JUST THROW UP YOUR HANDS
AND SAY THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME
I JUST WANT TO LIVE AS COMFORTABLY AS I CAN

YOU GOTTA LOOK OUTSIDE YOUR EYES
YOU GOTTA THINK OUTSIDE YOUR BRAIN
YOU GOTTA WALK OUTSIDE YOUR LIFE
TO WHERE THE NEIGHBORHOOD 
CHANGES

TELL ME WHO IS YOUR BOOGEY-MAN?
THAT'S WHO I WILL BE
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE ME FOR WHO I AM
BUT WE'LL SEE WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF
BY WHAT YOU MAKE OF ME

I THINK IT'S ABSURD
THAT YOU THINK I AM A DERELICT DAUGHTER
YOU KNOW I FIGHT FIRE WITH WORDS
WORDS ARE HOTTER THAN FLAME
WORDS ARE WETTER THAN WATER

I GOT FRIENDS ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY
I GOT FRIENDS IN OTHER COUNTRIES TOO
I GOT FRIENDS I HAVEN'T MET YET
I GOT FRIENDS I NEVER KNEW

I GOT LOVERS WHOSE EYES 
I'VE ONLY SEEN AT A GLANCE
I GOT STRANGERS FOR GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN
I GOT STRANGERS FOR ANCESTORS

I WAS A LONG TIME COMING-
I'LL BE A LONG TIME GONE
YOU GOT YOUR WHOLE LIFE
TO DO SOMETHING
AND THAT'S NOT VERY LONG

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME A CALL
WHEN YOU DECIDE YOU'RE 
WILLING TO FIGHT-
FOR WHAT YOU THINK IS REAL
FOR WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT.
