Folds, Ben - Still Fighting It Lyrics






Good morning, son.
I am a bird
Wearing a brown polyester shirt
You want a coke?
Maybe some fries?
The roast beef combo's only $9.95
It's okay, you don't have to pay
I've got all the change

Everybody knows
It hurts to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
And you're so much like me
I'm sorry

Good morning, son
In twenty years from now
Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you 'bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things

Everybody knows
It sucks to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
You'll try and try and one day you'll fly
Away from me

Good morning, son
I am a bird

It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things

Everybody knows
It hurts to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
Oh, we're still fighting it, we're still fighting it

And you're so much like me
I'm sorry

    This song. I spent my youth trying to act mature and be grown up wanting independence from my parents and this makes me feel so sad because I feel like I shouldve spent more time with my parents in my youth. Theyre still alive and im for sure going to hug them next time i see them

  5. �.... ....

    you're so much like me.. I'm sorry. this make me cry..😢

  6. p.... ....

    This is 100% my absolute favorite 'dad' song. As a father of a 3 yr old boy...brings tears to my eyes every time.

    This song really hit me so hard.
    It's sucks to grow up...

  9. I.... M....

    Ben Folds is the best singer song writer .. His music can really make people cry for days!! He is just the G.O.A.T.

  10. E.... A....

    He is one of the most underrated song writer

  11. T.... S....

    Scrubs♡

  12. M.... B....

    he's made some gorgeous tunes! and the band...

  13. j.... ....

    how to make men cry in 4:25

  14. b.... m....

    I’m a single dad of two boys and this song hits me hard.

  15. R.... H....

    What a good chilled out tune this is. Lyrics just make me think of being a kid with my dad he died when I was 14. Last words I said were hate u hope u die don't wana c u again in a argument. He grounded me I sneaked out next day after school he came home from work wheres Ross? Anyway the sress I caused brought on a heart attack, he had weak heart and he died. Heavy stuff 4 14 year old. Any way life goes on and I got a daughter now. I got some ruff acoustic tunes on here put in Ross Heathorn merry go round or Ross Heathorn flattery or Ross Heathorn dance all night. Hope you enjoy they raw acoustic no fx. Punk folk mc peace people love x

  16. A.... H....

  17. F.... B....

    2020 anyone?

  18. t.... 9....

    i cry to this like no other since i first heard it 8 years ago. first i didn’t know why and then i realized i grew to be a spitting image of everything i hated about my dad, he never said or expressed any sort of love towards me not even once. I really am scared as hell that one day I’ll have kids and then they’ll grow to be so much like me.

    t.... 9....

    turtle 98 be the change you want to see, your kids deserve it

  19. A.... B....

  27. C.... M....

    Beautiful... Ben's book lightning bugs is good too..wise and honest

  28. �.... ....

    Can say “ love u’ to my son. But can not say “ love u” to my father. I am sorry more.

  29. J.... M....

    I wish I could let my son know how much I love n miss him, like Ben had his lad, but words sometimes escape us...

  30. D.... G....

    Thanks BenFolds :)

  31. e.... w....

    In a life filled with great and meaningful experiences, being a dad was by far the greatest thing that I ever knew. Thank you Ben for somehow encapsulating that experience in song.

  32. M.... S....

    Why do people like u dont get millions of like
    Where on the other hand
    Some stupid singer with fake accent of raoper sing does ugly rapping with horrible words.

    Thus is the reason i love slow song

    M.... S....

    Ok boomer

  33. �.... ....

    How could he hold back crying while singing this song?

  34. S.... M....

    7 years ago I made this video for my Son using "Still Fighting It" as the music.
    Today Benjamin turned 11...becoming a father was the best thing I've ever done.

  35. �.... ....

    And you're so much like me

    Good morning, son
    I am a bird
    Wearing a brown polyester shirt
    You want a Coke?
    Maybe some fries?
    The roast beef combo's only nine ninety five
    But it's okay
    You don't have to pay
    I've got all the change

    Everybody knows
    It hurts to grow up
    And everybody does
    It's so weird to be back here
    Let me tell you what
    The years go on and
    We're still fighting it
    We're still fighting it

    And you're so much like me
    I'm sorry

    Good morning, son
    Twenty years from now
    Maybe we'll both sit down
    And have a few beers
    And I can tell
    You 'bout today
    And how I picked you up
    And everything changed
    It was pain
    Sunny days and rain
    I knew you'd feel the same things

    Everybody knows
    It sucks to grow up
    And everybody does
    It's so weird to be back here
    Let me tell you what
    The years go on and
    We're still fighting it
    We're still fighting it

    You'll try and try
    And one day you'll fly
    Away from me

    (Good morning, son)
    (Good morning, son)
    (Good morning, son)
    (Good morning, son)
    Good morning, son
    (Good morning, son)
    I am a bird
    (Good morning, son)
    (Good morning, son)

    It was pain
    Sunny days and rain
    I knew you'd feel the same things

    Everybody knows
    It hurts to grow up
    And everybody does
    It's so weird to be back here
    Let me tell you what
    The years go on and
    We're still fighting it
    We're still fighting it, oh
    We're still fighting it
    We're still fighting it

    And you're so much like me
    I'm sorry

  51. M.... K....

    Stop slicing the onions Ben 😢

  52. a.... ....

    Great story....for my dad..

  53. J.... Z....

    Ben, just wanted to thank you for creating and sharing this song. I remember listening to it for the first time in one of those giant bookstore/CD stores when it first came out. They had a little listening station of featured artists, and your album was one of them. I listened a bit to the first couple songs, trying to get a flavor for the album, and then landed on this one. I'll bet I listened to it a half of a dozen times in a row before my wife made me leave. I never made it to the other tracks! Anyways, I just heard this song again for the first time in years and it brought back so many memories. So I decided to learn it on acoustic guitar, and here I am, once again, listening to it a half dozen times in a row.!

  54. Y.... J....

    Amazing song,,, I'm sure this will be a memorable, wonderful gift to your son.

    Y.... J....

    His son turned 20 years old this summer

  55. b.... ....

    The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, for better or worse.

  65. D.... N....

    This song makes me kind of sad that I never had (and never will) have a kid...and also, at the same time, how much I miss my old man.
