Alright..., Alright..., First of all
When you wake up in the evening and the day is shot
Find yourself complaining about the things you ain't got
Never goes just the way you want it to
Clich?of the day, c'est la vie, that's just life
It ain't easy, it's so tough, it's so easy

(Whatcha gonna do, say, whatcha gonna do)
Put a smile on your face
Make the world a better place

(Whatcha gonna do, say, whatcha gonna do)
Put a smile on your face
Make the world a better place

take your cautionary tales
take your incremental gain
and all the sychophantic games
and throw 'em all away
burn your tv in your yard
and gather 'round it with your friends
and warm your hands upon the fire
and start again
take the story you've been told
the lies that justify the pain
the guilt the weighs upon your soul
and throw 'em all away
tear up the calendar you've bought

and waving, we rode that parade for awhile
and everybody knew everybody
boy there was a day being lonely was hard

and when the mouth is open grows a cancer
everybody wins
round and round and settle down, settle down
brand the herd of those who duplicate
and crush the wind of those who deviate
and ride the wave along the mitigated mile
ride the wave along the mitigated mile

the only time I feel good falling
is when I'm falling fast and hard for you
the last two digits when I'm calling
fade away but somehow I'll get through
the only time I feel good sinking
is when I'm sinking fast and deep for you
you caught me as I was winking
now I think my winking days are through
could it be another chang?
to come and rearrange
why can't she just feel the way I do?
you can't love no one
you can't love something
you can't love nothing
you can't love anything
till you can love yourself
till you can love yourself
you can
