Lyrics
There's no holding a candle to life's vandals Fighting a battle they're killing with live ammo Dragging my feet through fields of fine gravel They'll try and say it's diminishing my value Hold on - I keep my two cents to grow on Ideas circling my head like a proton If I could put my life into a whole song I'd make it picture perfect from the sunrise to cold dawn So long - We spend waiting for the perfect chance For someone else to come and change our current circumstance Leap into the bright lights where the curtains dance Only taking baby steps when leaving with a nervous glance Used to fit into that category Now I try to sew the pieces of my tattered stories Learn rule to break rules - Game of statutory Making sure the futures taken care of before I'm passin forty When it's just too great To shoulder up that weight Keep your head on straight You've got to fight your feelings Life won't wait for you another day To get home, get home You've got to fight your feelings I've heard what they say That one day we will stop existing That we need fixing There's no use mincing words No more I've heard what they say Let me tell you it's not convincing We're on top of this thing If we get down right now Be down to get down - Get down Spent a lot of time with a vacant rep Staying out of touch with the latest trends That doesn't mean I model what the TV set says Know your enemy if you want to stay ahead What's your dream - Can you make it go farther? The past gets repeated if you skip the core authors I study innovation - New and old martyrs And build the world around me just to make it like Wagner Ever notice how the greatest hits Never seem to age no matter what decade they play it in? It's no wonder we're not making rent When half the things we write about don't seem to make a bit of sense That goes for me too Try to keep the thoughts sincere the poetry new It's easier to try and poke a hole in each crew Than hammer down yourself and get to tighten weak screws like - When it's just too great To shoulder up that weight Keep your head on straight You've got to fight your feelings Life won't wait for you another day To get home, get home You've got to fight your feelings I've heard what they say That one day we will stop existing That we need fixing There's no use mincing words No more I've heard what they say Let me tell you it's not convincing We're on top of this thing If we get down - Right now Be down to get down - Get down
