Without a Fight
Hoobastank(후바스탱크) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up, our life is calling! we're smoking, but not on fire!
Give us a sign that we're alive!

Step out of indecision! how we've been hypnotized!
To think that everything's all right!

The clock is counting down, the clock is counting down!
The seconds tick away, the seconds tick away!

This is our time! without a doubt!
Time to ignite! we're not going down!
(without a fight)

This is our time! get up off the ground!
Take what is mine! we're not going down,
Without a fight!

Let's go, the curtain's open! get this show on the road!
I want to feel my heart explode!

No more pro-crastination! tracking my feet below!
Now I want everyone to know!

The clock is counting down, the clock is counting down!
The seconds tick away, the seconds tick away!

This is our time! without a doubt!
Time to ignite! we're not going down!
(without a fight)

This is our time! get up off the ground!
Take what is mine! we're not going down,
Without a fight!

Yeah! come on! come on! come on!

Come on! come on! come on!

We must pick up the pace! no time to play it safe!
Before you know it's much too late!

This is our time! without a doubt!
Time to ignite! we're not going down!
(without a fight)

This is our time! get up off the ground!
Take what is mine! we're not going down,
Without a fight!





Fight! [Repeat: x16]
