Keep Mediocrity at Bay - Van Morrison

You gotta fight every day

To keep mediocrity at bay

Gotta fight every day

To keep mediocrity at bay

Got to fight with all your might

Not to get in the bleeding heart’s way

You gotta fight for your rights

You can’t bury your head in the sand

You gotta fight for your rights

You can’t just bury your

Head in the sand

Politics and religion, superstition

Go hand in hand

Well you’re going through the motions

And they can’t hear a word you say

Well you’re going through the motions

They don’t want to hear a word you say

Got to keep boredom at bay

And keep mediocrity away

Gotta fight every day

To keep mediocrity at bay

Gotta fight every day

To keep mediocrity at bay

Got to fight with all your might

Not to get in the bleeding heart’s way
