Little girl in these changing times
You got to move on or be left behind
Every day is a battle within
And you say the future looks so dim
??? and if you get it right
???
Well you just got to fight for what you want
You got to fight for what you want
You got to fight for what you want
For what you want
When you get to know the future, baby
Every guy leaves you so confused
Got to choose which way to turn
And you got to ??? understand
Oh yeah, you get ??? alright, all night
All day do right, all right
You ride away that storm, remember that
You got to fight for what you want
You got to fight for what you want
You got to fight for what you want
For what you want
Baby that's on
You got to fight for what you want
You got to fight for what you want
YOU GOT TO FIGHT (FOR WHAT YOU WANT) is a song written by Bruce Springsteen. It remains officially unreleased and apparently it was not recorded in studio.
The above lyrics are for a demo take of YOU GOT TO FIGHT (FOR WHAT YOU WANT). It was recorded solo on acoustic guitar, in a reggae-style beat, at Springsteen's home in Holmdel, NJ, sometime between September and December 1979.
Springsteen recorded many demos at his home around the time The River was being cut in studio. These home demos were not professionally recorded; it seems that Springsteen used a regular cassette recorder. They were just song fragments, and there is much stopping and starting heard as Springsteen records bits and pieces, manually stops the recorder, and then returns sometime later to add more ideas.
This home demo version of YOU GOT TO FIGHT (FOR WHAT YOU WANT) can be found on The Definitive River Outtakes Collection Volume 1 (E. St. Records) [disc 1, track 03] bootleg.
