We were the kids that left home probably too young

But we took our share and maybe then some

Tired of beatings and battles and being sewn up

But that made us grow up, and that made 'em scared

'Cause we never learned to keep our voices down

No, we only learned to shout

So we fight our way in

And we fight our way out

And we earned what we could from the ground up

And tried to lift the whole damn crowd up

So we fight our way in

And we fight our way out

We fight our way in

And we fight our way out

We fight our way in

And we fight our way out

And there's still a kid somewhere that needs to hear this

That somebody cares, that somebody knows

Who's tired of bleeding and battered and being torn up

Just pick yourself up, it's time to go

'Cause we never learned to keep our voices down

No, we only learned to shout

So we fight our way in

And we fight our way out

And we earned what we could from the ground up

And tried to lift the whole damn crowd up

So we fight our way in

And we fight our way out

We fight our way in

And we fight our way out

We fight our way in

And we fight our way out

Maybe we found a way to make some tracks

We didn't snicker and turn our backs

We just keep digging in, and digging in, and giving back

'Cause we never learned to keep our voices down

No, we only learned to shout

So we fight our way in

And we fight our way out

And we earned what we could from the ground up

And tried to lift the whole damn crowd up

So we fight our way in

And we fight our way out

'Cause we never learned to keep our voices down

No, we only learned to shout

So we fight our way in

And we fight our way out

We fight our way in

And we fight our way out

We fight our way in

And we fight our way out
