Oppression (03:00)
Ben Harper • Fight for Your Mind
Oppression, you pray on us when we sleep
Oppression, you chase after the tired, the poor, the weak
Oppression, you know you mean only harm
Opression, you reach out with your long arm.
But Oppression, I wont let you near me, oh no
Opression, you shall learn to fear me, yes you will

Oppression, you seek population control
Oppression, to divide and to conquer is your goal
Oppression, I swear that hatred is your home
Oppression, you just wont leave bad enough alone
But Oppression, I wont let you near me, oh no
Oppression, you shall learn to fear me, yes you will.

Oppression, I don't see how you sleep
Oppression, for your bleeding conscience I weep
Oppression, you may have the dollar on your side
But Oppression, from the gospel truth you cannot hide
And Oppression, I wont let you near me, oh no
Oppression, you shall learn to fear me, yes you will
Oppression, I wont let you near me, ohhh
Oppression, you shall fear me yes---- you-- wi-----llah

Ground on Down (04:55)
Ben Harper • Fight for Your Mind
I believe in a few things
God, the devil and love
But I looked from the bottom
And I've stared down from above
And I have faith in a few things
Divinity and grace
But even when I'm on my knees
I know the devil prays
And you're workin' your way
From the ground on down

I hate to say I love you
Because it means that I will be
With your forever
Or we'll sadly say goodbye
And I love to say I hate you
Because it means that I will live
My life happily without ya
Or we'll sadly live a lie
And you're working your way
From the ground on down
On down
Your way from the ground on down
On... (check it out)

Life is short and if you're looking for extension
With your time you had best do well
Cause there's good deeds
And there's good intention
They're as far apart as heaven and hell
I said you're working your way
From the ground on down

Another Lonely Day (03:44)
Ben Harper • Fight for Your Mind
Yes indeed I'm, alone again
And here comes emptiness, crashing in
Its either love or hate, I can't find in between
'Cause I've been with witches and I've been with the queen

It wouldn't have worked out anyway
So now it's just another lonely day
hey, hey
Further along, we just may
But for now it's just another lonely day

Wish there was something I, could say or do
I can resist anything but, the temptation from you
But I'd rather walk alone, than chase you around
I'd rather fall myself than let you, drag me on down

It wouldn't have worked out anyway
and now it's just another lonely day
hey, hey
Further along, we just may
But for now it's just another lonely day

Yesterday seems like a, life ago
'Cause the one I loved today, I hardly know
You I held so close, in my heart oh dear
Grow further from me with every, falling tear

It wouldn't have worked out anyway
So now it's just another lonely day
hey, hey
Further along, we just may
But for now it's just another lonely day
For now its just another lonely day
hey, hey
For now its just another lonely day

Gold to Me (05:02)
Ben Harper • Fight for Your Mind
You look like gold to me
And I'm not too blind to see
Ah, you look like gold
Said you look like gold
And you make me want to sing
With all the joy you bring
Ah, you look like gold
Ah, you look like gold

Like the rays down from the sun
When a new day has just begun
You look like gold
You look like gold

Now looka here
Cause I've been fooled before
But now I know
I made the mistake in the past
But now I, now I know the difference
From gold, from gold and brass

Its not the kind of gold that you wear
But that kind that can feel my care
Ah hey, you look like gold
Ah, Now you look like gold

Some shine when the day is new
Ah, but they fade when the day is through
But not you, you look like gold
I said you look like gold
Ah, but I been wrong before
But now I know
I made mistakes in the past
But now, but now I know, now I know
Now I know, now I know
The difference from gold and brass

You look like gold to me
And I'm, I'm down on a bended knee
Ah, you look like gold
Oh, you look like gold
I just, I just want you to know
To me you mean so, so, so much more
Than all the gold
Ah, you look like gold
Uh, you shine like gold
Said you look like gold

People Lead (04:16)
Ben Harper • Fight for Your Mind
People Lead

When the people lead
the leaders they will have to follow
and all their lies and their alibies
they will have to swallow
and it's you that has the authority
for the one who is right
is the majority

when the people lead
people take the lead
children you've got to take your lead
or you shall be led astray

so as long as someone else
controls your history
the truth shall remain just a mystery
for you can lead a horse to the water
but you cannot make him drink
you can put a man through school
but you cannot make him think

when the people lead
people take the lead
children you've got to take your lead
or you shall be led astray

watch them try to hide
this world's imposition
but like disease that has come round from remission
when it seems
as if it has left your person
all the while it has only worsened

when the people lead
people take the lead
children you've got to take your lead
or you shall be led astray

By My Side (03:32)
Ben Harper • Fight for Your Mind
Don't you get ahead of me
And I won't leave you behind
If you get unhappy
Show me a sign

There's no love like lost love
No pain like a broken heart
There's no love like you and me
And no loss like us apart

Promises promise is
Only a word
And when softly spoken
Is never heard

And a heart
Is not a stone
And is fragile
When alone

By my side
By my side
Won't you be by my side
By my side
By my side
Won't you be by my side

My care for you
Is from the ground up to the sky
It's over under up above
Down below and to the side

No use in pretending
No use in saving face
My love is never ending
You are my saving grace

By my side
By my side
Won't you be by my side
By my side
By my side
Won't you be by my side

Power of the Gospel (06:04)
Ben Harper • Fight for Your Mind
It will make a weak man mighty
It will make a mighty man fall
It will fill your heart and hands
Or leave you with nothing at all
It's the eyes for the blind
The legs for the lame
It is the love for hate
and pride for shame

Now that's the power of the gospel
That's the power of the gospel
That's the power of the mighty power
That's the power of the gospel

Gospel on the water
Gospel in the trees
The gospel thats inside of you
The gospel inside of me
The gospel in the garden
Gospel in the land
The gospel in every woman
The gospel in every man

Now that's the power of the gospel
That's the power of the gospel
That's the power of the mighty power
That's the power of the gospel

In the hour of richness
In the hour of need
For all of creation
Come from the gospel seed
And you may leave tomorrow
And you may leave today
But you've got to have the gospel
When you start out on your way

Now that's the power of the gospel
That's the power of the gospel
That's the power of the mighty power
That's the power of the gospel
