Lyrics

Discipline

Discipline

Discipline, discipline
Discipline can stop my hunger
Discipline can quench my thirst
Discipline can make me stronger
If it doesn't kill me first

I'm gonna pump it up
Gotta keep my body from falling apart
I got to keep it up

Discipline

Discipline, discipline
Discipline can stop my hunger
Discipline can quench my thirst
Discipline can make me stronger
If it doesn't kill me first

I'm gonna tie you up
Gonna keep you begging for the key to my heart
I got to keep it up

But tonight I'm gonna be my only slave
Put on my CD of the sound of waves
And drift away 'til another day

Discipline

Discipline, discipline
Discipline can stop my hunger
Discipline can quench my thirst
Discipline can make me stronger
If it doesn't kill me first

Discipline can stop my hunger
Discipline can quench my thirst
Discipline can make me stronger
If it doesn't kill me first

Discipline can stop my hunger
Discipline can quench my thirst
Discipline can make me stronger
If it doesn't kill me first

Discipline can stop
