Fight For Your Mind

It's about doing whatever you do to the best of your ability while you can...don't have any regrets about anything.

my sentiments exactly ol chum. dont try to copy off of others, do your own style and do it good, no one is quite like you so you should be proud of that. love ben harper

What I hear is frustration with people who say "oh well I could do X but then I'd miss out on Y, and then what if later I wanted Z? and V and W are worth considering too", and then miss out on life because they won't make a decision. Or people who are half-hearted about their values and haven't the courage to live them out.

I think it's about the need to live weightily (to use my father's phrase) and with purpose, instead of faffing around. If you're gonna do something, do it, and own your decisions.

To live this way takes immense strength of soul - hence the chorus, 'you got to fight for your mind'. Your reward will be a sound mind.

Nice song! the lyrics tell the meaning clearly.
