Born To Fight Lyrics by Green on Red

No Free Lunch / The Killer Inside Me

0

July fourth 1959
A friend of mine was born
He always claimed the date subjected his name
To ridicule and scorn
Well I said, Bear, you gotta learn to walk on by
He said, son, I was born to fight

Well, he painted black holes for a living
Way down south
Liked the way the flag waved in the wind
Made him feel so proud
He took a fall of thirty feet
But he came out alive
He said, Doc, I was born to fight

Born to fight
(Born to fight)
Born to fight
(Born to fight)
Yes, indeed
We were born to fight
Born to fight
(Born to fight)
Born to fight
(Born to fight)
Lord, forgive us
We were born to fight

Went down to El Salvador
Fighting for the right
To free speech, assembly, and honky tonk Saturday nights
But he saw a ditch filled high
With childrеn's lives
Now he's in them hills
Fighting on thе other side

Well, I often wonder what ever happened to my
Wild and woolly friend
And if he did receive the benediction he was seeking
In the bitter end
Well, you know, I like to believe
We all got a right
Me and you, brother
We were born to fight

Born to fight
(Born to fight)
Born to fight
(Born to fight)
Yes, indeed
We were born to fight
Born to fight
(Born to fight)
Born to fight
(Born to fight)
Lord, forgive us
We were born to fight
