Crying on my Saturday Cause my back is up against the wall Guess it's one of my better days No, at least I did not hit the floor When I looked away He was turning the shoulder And my mother is saying Just remember what he told you Fight your wars He will not fight yours No, she said, Oh your daddy is a great man But he will not fight for you Oh his battles are the ones he can win Not the ones he wants to Pull me out into the crowd Cause you think I should be more like them And I don't wanna let you down, no But I don't think that you quite understand When I looked away He was turning the shoulder And my mother's ashamed Of the life I have chosen I fight my wars That they won't fight for She said, Oh our family has a great name But it will not stay with you When I looked away He was turning the shoulder And my mother is saying Just remember what he told you Fight your wars He will not fight yours No, she said, Oh your daddy is a great man But he will not fight for you
