There's a lot of sad things in this world
What's even sadder is how easily
They could have been avoided
There's a whole lot of hardache
And sadness in this world
But it's so sad how with a little thought
They could have been avoided

I didn't fight to lose the battle
Fight to lose the battle but I'll fight a losing battle
I didn't fight to lose the battle
Fight to lose the battle but I'll fight a losing battle

Would you look someone in the eye and lie?
Man, how could you do that?
Man, how could you do that?
Would you do someone wrong that did you right?
Damn, how could you do that?
Damn, how could you do that?
And what kind of friend are you?
A friend till the end?
Or someone that gets fried in the end?

I didn't fight to lose the battle
Fight to lose the battle but I'll fight a losing battle
I didn't fight to lose the battle
Fight to lose the battle but I'll fight a losing battle
I didn't fight to lose the battle
Fight to lose the battle but I'll fight a losing battle
I didn't fight to lose the battle
Fight to lose the battle but I'll fight a losing battle

I didn't fight to lose the battle but I'll fight a losing battle
Hell ya!
I didn't fight to lose the battle but I'll fight a losing battle
Hell ya!
I didn't fight to lose the battle but I'll fight a losing battle
Hell ya!
I didn't fight to lose the battle but I'll fight a losing battle
Hell ya!

There's a whole lot of sadness going on in this world
So much of it could have easily been avoided
There's a whole lot of sadness going on in this world
Look in the mirror and you'll probably see too much of it
