It's Only Your Life

You wrestle yourself to the ground You springboard and kick yourself in the mouth 'Cause all of that drama, that embarrassed charade Couldn't stop you or settle you down So you got back with your black hole And you don't care who's out there or who knows 'Cause you're spent and you're sad 'Cause you've bronzed it, it's your badge And you've fixed it to all of your clothes Every T-shirt and overcoat So it's with you through hot or cold But I would tear it from the cloth Yeah, I would tear it from the cloth Grow up and knock it off 'Cause there's a world awake outside With injustice and with music and with July, July With history's arc, with your family, with art But it don't mean nothing, not to you, not tonight 'Cause you can't see past the length of your nose The biggest problems you're sure they're your own That girl you cut loose, those two friends that cursed you And all that powder that you can't leave alone And you say you know, you know, you know But I know that you don't, you don't, you don't If you did you'd really try If you did you'd really try to let all that die So marry yourself to your work And crowd your confusion with words Then round out your life with some boy you might like While you bury your love in the dirt 'Cause it's endless the ditch you can dig You're stubborn and you're prideful and you're all over it So I suggest you make sense of the time you've got left So you don't end up back where you've been And you say you won't, you won't, you won't And I hope that you don't, you don't, you don't If you mean it then stand up and fight If you mean it then stand up and fight I mean it's only your life I mean it's only your life To fix or ruin, to figure what to do with It's only your life To fix or ruin 'cause no one else is gonna do it It's only your life
