Getting on is getting old
Too many pointless across the fading, tired veranda
You’ve found yourself stuck at arm’s length
You’re done with being pushed around
It’s time to run your enemies down
There’s two types of people in the world
The hapless victims always rushing
And then the ones who do the crushing
The former’s welcome has been worn
The truth may hold a violent sting
But damned if that can’t be a lovely thing
Tick tock, all the people wanna rock
And the people that’ll rock and do a bang-up job
Don’t mind all the people left behind
They’re the people in grind and they’ll learn with time
That you can’t go messing around with a blessing
That’ll turn around twice just to teach you a lesson
When they pull you down under it’ll be no wonder
You’ve been so ruthless lately
I know you feel like you’ve lost yourself
I bet you think you could use some help
But if you look at your reflection you’ll see it’s true
There’s nothing in your way except for you
Look around the open town
A million things to do and say ‘til everyone gets wrenched away
You can’t forget the things you’ve seen
But everything will be all right
You won’t go down, no, not without a fight
