Dont let em tell you what you think is cool/
Dont let em tell you what you think is right/
Dont let em tell you what you think you should do/
Now do you/ recognize when the world wont stop for you/
Or when your days dont care what you got to do/
Or when the weights too tough to lift up/
What do you do?/ They dont choose for you/
Dont let em choose/
Do you/ recognize when the world wont stop for you/
Or when your days dont care what you got to do/
Or when the weights too tough to lift up/
What do you do?/ Dont let em choose for you/
Thats all you
Another day another dime/ another state another mind
48 moves to choose/
But no matter the coast/ we all toast the same PBR
So much settling for ours/
So many lives/ in so many lines waitin
Theres only so much time/ so many die patient/
So many skate only where the ice is thin/
We too nice to not dive in right after them/
We too right to not sway a little/
Wiggle from the path/
Middle up/ foot upon the gas/ like the past is the rear view/
Last laugh lands on the man/ with the plan to do all that he can/ to do all that he can
And we all save face in the face of our friends/
And we all bend backwards to make amends/
And we all take chances that change us/
Civil with the self-hate just wont do/
Chorus x2
Do you/ recognize when the world wont stop for you/
Or when your days dont care what you got to do/
Or when the weights too tough to lift up/
What do you do?/ dont let em choose for you
Thats on you.
A lot of my friends shake when they dont drink/
All my friends wheeze when they sleep/
All my friends think green but cant afford to live it/
Cant ignore the cynics/ cant explore the gimmicks/ cant report the dividends/
Limited only by the need to stay fed/
And giving up is like Latin/ Its dead/
It dont happen/ dont even cross the head/
Lost in our own web/
But its our bed/
Sleep sucks/
Or at least until I try/ but at least until Im right/
but at least until Im fly/ let me get it on tight/
But at least until its mine/ but at least until its time/
Let me set em up/ and knock em down come on/
But at least until Im fine/ but at least until Im wrong/
But at least until I got a piece to call me own/
But at least until Im grown/ but at least until Im gone/
Goodbye, Goodbye
Do you/ recognize when the world wont stop for you/
Or when your days dont care what you got to do/
Or when the weights too tough to lift up/
What do you do?/ dont let em choose for you
Thats on you.
And we all save face in the face of our friends/
And we all bend backwards to make amends/
And we all take chances that change us/
Civil with the self-hate just wont do
Do you/ recognize when the world wont stop for you/
Or when your days dont care what you got to do/
Or when the weights too tough to lift up/
What do you do?/ dont let em choose for you
Thats on you.
