Track two from the album 'One Hyde Park' by The Dowling Poole
lyrics
Fight, Fight, Fight
Ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba
Listen to the cries of disillusioned dreamers
The shattering of a million concepts fill the sky
I’m reaching out for a hand of consolation
You better fight, fight, fight to win this war
You gotta take, take, take each point you score
Communication rotten to the core
You better fight until there’s nothing left but
Ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba
Underneath the crushing weight of disappointment
I wave a white flag to the wisdom of my peers
So why do we implode upon each other?
I’ve got to fight, fight, fight to rock this boat
I gotta take them out to stay afloat
I’ll sink or swim - won’t die, it’s me or him
Until there’s nothing left to do but sing like
Ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba
You better fight, fight, fight to win this war
You gotta take, take, take each point you score
Communication rotten to the core
You better fight until there’s nothing left but
Ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba
You gotta fight to win this pointless war
Don’t even know why you’re still fighting for
Futility - your savior best of luck
You’ve gotta fight to win this barren war
Just look around there’s no one fighting any more
Ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba-ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba

Beatle like melodies and harmonies at the service of startlingly wise and poetic lyrics that have the punch, humor and rhythm of a rock version of Gilbert and Sullivan. steven blomerth
