Ya man
Take it to the maxx
You know, we have to fight
Are you making these drugs?

Yes!

Ya man
Uh!
Move out
Come on.

You gotta fight
Whoa oh, you gotta fight for your right
(Fight, fight to survive)
You gotta fight
Whoa oh, you gotta fight, fight to survive
(Fight, fight to survive).

We won't give up
'Cause we all know what we're fighting for
(Fight, fight to survive)
Don't you give up
'Cause we all know what we'll fighting for.

Come on, come on, come on
Come and stand over here in the white spotlight
Join us
We have to fight
Judging from the things they say
Even got to fight for me
Being the king
'Cause the big man sleep is
Going on and on
We don't need them
Working time drink and booze
You're fighting for the things
That we need in life
Me fighting for me right
Me right to survive.

You gotta fight
Whoa oh, you gotta fight for your right
(Fight, fight to survive)
You gotta fight
Whoa oh, you gotta fight, fight to survive
(Fight, fight to survive).

'Cause we all know what we're fighting for
(Fight, fight to survive)
Don't you give up
'Cause we all know what we'll fighting for.

Take it to the maxx
Take it to the maxx.

Fight, fight, fight, fight,
Fight to survive.

If you want to make it to the top
And the road is hot
You stick it out
And there's no respite
You come out fighting
For the things me move
Me gonna take you round
To the sunshine show
Me fighting for the things
Till me colour-blind
You're swinging on Sunday
And swinging on Monday
Just flesh and blood
For to stay alive
Just fighting for me right
Me right to survive.

You gotta fight
Whoa oh, you gotta fight for your right
(Fight, fight to survive)
You gotta fight
Whoa oh, you gotta fight, fight to survive
(Fight, fight to survive).

We won't give up
'Cause we all know what we're fighting for
(Fight, fight to survive)
Don't you give up
'Cause we all know what we'll fighting for.

Take it to the maxx
Take it to the maxx.

Wake up and try to fight
For your right
To survive.

Yes!

Uh!

You gotta fight
Whoa oh, you gotta fight for your right
(Fight, fight to survive)

Whoa oh, you gotta fight, fight to survive
