Jon Troast - Not This Battle Lyrics

I saw a movie on TV tonight
It was the action packed, adventure filled, suspenseful kind
As my heart began to race, and the blood pumped through my veins
"Why?" I started thinking

I was made to fight, but not this battle
It's just Hollywood, not the things that matter
Like the orphans and the widows, the crippled and the crooks
They need me more than the TV ever could

I caught a baseball game this afternoon
Where the umpire gave the other team the winning run
As I began to clench my fists, and the words came to my lips
"Why?" I started thinking

I was made to fight, but not this battle
It's just a ballgame, not the things that matter
Like the orphans and the widows, the crippled and the crooks
They need me more than the home team ever could

I spend all my energy on stuff that won't affect a thing
Now it's time for me to stand up and step inside the ring

I was made to fight, but not this battle
Neither Hollywood or ballgames really matter
But the orphans and the widows, the crippled and the crooks
They need me more than these things ever could

I was made to fight, but not this battle
Neither Hollywood or ballgames really matter
But the orphans and the widows, the crippled and the crooks
They need me more than these things ever could
They need me more than these things ever could
