Story Behind The Song
"Fight" is a rallying rock tune to energize people to fight for animals in hopes of someday eliminating our cruelty and exploitation of them.
Song Description
I don't want to waste energy fighting with my sweetheart about trivialities, because I need to save my energy to fight for that which really matters to me: the animals who are abused and terrorized every minute of every day in factory farms, fur farms, laboratories, and research facilities

Lyrics
V1:
I don't want to fight over my lateness tonight/No no not tonight, no no no no
And I don't want to quarrel over who's wrong, who's right/No no not tonight, no no no
There's something that rattles inside of me/So I've got to choose my battles judiciously
CH:
'cause I, I need to Fight/for the lamb who never sees daylight
yes, and I, I need to Fight/for the hen in the cage all her life
and the calf stripped from Mama,/just for that, oh I need to Fight
V2:
I don't want to fight over the black or the red dress/It's just a dress, no no no no
And I don't want to quarrel over our financial mess/It's such a mess, now I have to go
'cause something is stirring inside of me /So I've got to save my spurrings and energy
-CH-
BR:
for the fox and the mink/we will get their trappers to think
and for the sow and her nursing ten/we will carry them out of their pen
and for the macaque with the broken back/we will stand up with fighters of SHAC
and for the mouse with the burning eyes/we will shout to expose all the lies
we will shout to expose all the lies
