Fightin Fire with Fire

I was born in Texas 36 years ago
A lot has happened since
You could say it's illusion
You could say a lot of things

Now I'm a white man singin
What black men taught me
Those great black me
But I'm just playin rock n roll
With a bit o' the blues agin it

Fightin fire with fire
Fightin fire with fire
Fightin fire with fire
That's rock n roll
That's rock n roll
That's rock n roll

I grew up seeing good people confused
Spreadin misery conflictin values
Looking around for useful tools
Everything's polluted

Now rock n roll is just for kicks
But it also sure cuts through
Oh what folks who call it childish
Turn around and do

That's why were fightin fire with fire
Fightin fire with fire
Fightin fire with fire
That's rock n roll
That's rock n roll
That's rock n roll
