If you're gonna live
then live it up
and if you're gonna give

then give it up
if you're gonna walk the earth
then walk it proud

and if you're gonna say the word
you got to say it loud


you got to fight for your mind
you got to fight for your mind
while you got the time

you got to fight for your mind

if you're gonna build a house

make it a home
if you're gonna pull some weight
pull your own

if you're gonna help
reach out your hand
if you're getting up

then take a stand

you got to fight for your mind

you got to fight for your mind
while you got the time
you got to fight for your mind


if you're gonna step
step on in

if you're gonna finish
you got to begin
don't you fear

what you don't know
just let that be
your room to grow


you got to fight for your mind
you got to fight for your mind

while you got the time
you got to fight for your mind
