No one approves, I swear they never do

He's troubled a little that's true

Look away, these bruises show he cares

I know momma it's not quite fair

 

But I'll stay beside, I'm persuaded by his lies

But I'm strong, I'll show, just like you already know

 

All right, I'll fight, for his life

 

Brothers in arms dying side by side

Not caring much about where they throw their lives

Their pictures now soaked with blood and with oaths

Who really wins anyways?

 

Not a single soul, ever for back their toll

In the name of some soil, or some dispute or some oil

 

All right, I'll fight, with my life

 

I guess I'll run away, any other day

It's not like anyone I know to stay

I'll trade with my sins, any chance to win

A smile, a touch, or a place

 

I belong, or a home, not fraught with the scars of my own

My blood, my tears never seemed to bring me anywhere near

 

All right, I'll fight, for a life

 

The drugs seem to grow a stronger chokehold

Every time I see my sister Ann

The spoon and the flame, seem to be her only aim

Ever since daddy ran away

 

And I see, her spark fade, every goddamn day

But I would pay, everything to take back her place

 

All right, I'll fight, for her life
