You gotta fight every day to keep mediocrity at bay 
Gotta fight every day to keep mediocrity at bay 
Got to fight with all your might not to get in the bleeding heart's way 

You gotta fight for your rights, you can't bury your head in the sand 
You gotta fight for your rights, you can't just bury your head in the sand

Well you're going through the motions, they don't want to hear a word you say 
Got to keep boredom at bay and keep mediocrity away 

Gotta fight every day to keep mediocrity at bay 
Gotta fight every day to keep mediocrity at bay 
Got to fight with all your might not to get in the bleeding heart's way 

Got to fight with all your might not to get in the bleeding heart's way
