Lyrics
Im fighting a battle
Im fighting my shadow
Herd fears like theyre cattle
Im fighting a battle, yeah
Im fighting my ego
Lost youth, where did we go wrong?
Im fighting for me, though
Im lighting the long way home
Oh, the past it haunted me
Oh, the past it wanted me dead
Oh, the past tormented me
Oh, the past it wanted me dead
Oh, the past it haunted me
Oh, the past it wanted me dead
Oh, the past tormented me
But the battle was lost
Cause Im still here
Im winning the war now
Im winning it all now
Watch tears while they fall down
Im winning the war now
I win against ego
Cast light on the shadows long
Im winning from ego
Im lighting the long way home
Oh, the past it haunted me
Oh, the past it wanted me dead
Oh, the past tormented me
Oh, the past it wanted me dead
Oh, the past it haunted me
Oh, the past it wanted me dead
Oh, the past tormented me
But the battle was lost
Cause Im still here
its hauntin me
Oh, the past it wanted me dead
Oh, the past, its hauntin me
Oh, the past it wanted me dead
Oh, the past its hauntin me
Oh, the past it wanted me dead
Oh, the past tormented me
But the battle was lost
Cause Im still here
Im fighting my ego
Lost youth, where did we go wrong?
Im winning for me, though
Im lighting the long way home
Oh, the past it haunted me
Oh, the past it wanted me dead
Oh, the past tormented me
Oh, the past it wanted me dead
Oh, the past it haunted me
Oh, the past it wanted me dead
Oh, the past tormented me
But the battle was lost
Cause Im still here
its hauntin me
Oh, the past it wanted me dead
Oh, the past its hauntin me
Oh, the past it wanted me dead
Oh, the past its hauntin me
Oh, the past it wanted me dead
Oh, the past tormented me
But the battle was lost
Cause Im still here
Right, right, turn off the lights
Were gonna lose our minds tonight
Whats the deal, yo?
I love when its all too much
5 a.m. turn the radio up
Wheres the rock n roll?
Party crasher, panty snatcher
Call me up if youre a gangsta
Dont be fancy, just get dancy
Why so serious?
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty, gritty, dirty, little freaks
Wontyou come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass!"
