lyrics

Young in the area with nothing to do
Acted like its just something we all do
wanted to be cool like me too
but feel like they don't even see you
life will kick you in the face like an emu
and many hearts are cold as an igloo
at the start, you don't know the sequel
doing things not exactly legal
live life, what are you waiting for
going all out became the game of sport
Change course with a wrong turn you can't afford
didn't go his way when he had his day in court
Standing between 4 walls in a jail cell
looking pale, feeling not well
and withdrawals were a lesser form of hell
and the change of routine cracked the shell
confronting the inner ogre
it's a game of chess every step takes us closer
roommate said, "man your story's not over"
Try living life 14 years sober

here we are,
It's been a long day,
yes it has

I knew this one girl, she was a little older
had a bad liver with no donor
all i say for her pain, glad that its over
this spring make 14 years sober
get the picture a printer without the toner
Underground world symbolism with the code word
So what you gonna do when coyotes and hyenas
got you backed into a corner
A whole lotta folks in the world
wishing that their time wasn't shorter
Don't look back, now, just look forward
somehow things got out of order
but along the line we turned a corner
Became strong as the bricks and the morter
It's no picnic though it is rewarding
We must find our own way and make our own fortunes
So are you still down or are you horsing around
Will you come with the townspeople and the torches?
or will you help us barricade the fortress
and stay until the war ends
Noize in the forest
voices in a chorus
choice of supreme importance

what would you do if it was you?
would you stand and help me too

what would you do if it was you?
would you stand and help me too

what would you do if it was you?
would you stand and help me too

what would you do if it was you?
you

what would you do if it was you?
would you stand and help me too

what would you do if it was you?
would you stand and help me too

what would you do if it was you?
would you stand and help me too

what would you do if it was you?
you
