Fight the Fight (Camille Gross) 04:43
lyrics

Verse Plastic Islands, hurricanes, the world gets warmer every day Angry protests in the streets, 400 years of bills to pay We should emphasize presidential lies paralyze People celebrate ignorance and hate, Home of the Brave The world's most wealthy country, How come I feel so poor today? Inside of me, so much anxiety chorus So fight the fight to make it right, but give yourself a break tonight We've got a lot of work to do, Together we'll get through all right verse Please don't stand so close to me, and wear a mask and wash your hands Me too victims wonder why, why can't they keep it in their pants Voter rights attacked, alternate facts, can't relax Putin doesn't lie, he's a super guy, Land of the Free The world's most wealthy country, how come it seems so poor to me? Inside of me, so much anxiety Chorus So fight the fight to make it right, but give yourself a break tonight We've got a lot of work to do, Together we'll get through all right So fight the fight to make it right, but give yourself a break tonight There's only so much you can do, so here's to me and you all right Facebook envy, greed is everything, science isn't real, Jewish space lasers, satanic pedophiles, what are bone spurs anyway?
