Personnel
Vandenberg
Vandenberg (band)
Vandenberg was a Dutch hard rock band named after guitarist Ad "Adje" van den Berg (a.k.a. Adrian Vandenberg)
Career
In 1981, Van den Berg worked with vocalist Jos Veldhuizen, bass guitarist Griff "Studly" McGrath and drummer Bico De Gooijer in a band called Teaser. This line-up did not last long, and Van den Berg then hired Bert Heerink (vocals), Dick Kemper (bass guitar), and Jos Zoomer (drums). With this line-up, Teaser recorded a demo that came to the notice of the pop-journalist Kees Baars. Baars offered to manage the group, and contracted the band at Atlantic Records in the U.S..
Their first album, Vandenberg, was recorded at the former Led Zeppelin's guitarist Jimmy Page's studio, Sol Studios, and in 1983 their first single, "Burning Heart". reached No. 39 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts. Vandenberg toured the U.S. as the opening act for Ozzy Osbourne and KISS, and toured independently in Japan in 1984. "Different Worlds" from their second album, Heading for a Storm, also did fairly well, but did not equal the success of "Burning Heart".

Fighting Against The World
by: VandenbergI don't agree with the way some people make all the rules, control society
No rules for me, I wanna live my life the way I want, no one's controlling me
They say I'm wrong, I know I'm right
I make my own rules and fight (I'm gonna make my own rules and fight)
Chorus:
I'm fighting against the world, my back against the wall
That's the way I'm gonna fall
I've got my dreams, yeah, done what I wanna do in my life
What I want to achieve
Sometimes it seems, everytime I make a move
Someone gets in my way, takes the lead, oh
I'll get what I want, I'll make a stand
I'm gonna fight 'til the end (gonna fight until the very end)
(chorus)
I've got a long way to travel, before I reach the place where I wanna be
Sooner or later I'll get there, I'll have my way
Don't stop me now, you might get in trouble, you see
(Solo)
(Fighting against the world)
One thing I know, I walk the right way, for me, there is only one way to go
All the time it shows, there are so many things in my life
That are worth fighting for, yeah
I know I've got one foot in the door, I'm gonna be pushing for more
(I'm gonna push back at you for more)
(chorus)
I'm fighting against the world, my back against the wall
(Solo)
Fight!
