it's not what you get
it's what you will give
i've been the other way
seen this thing before
and what are lessons
time we have spent
just look the other way
always look the other way

fight what other people say
i used to gather talk with pride and it burned my hand
words of wisdom i never did understand
just give me your hand, hand, hand

doesn't matter words i talk its coming right back to yourself
and we will lift you right on up just to bring you straight back down
and i wont throw my weight around, throw my wieght around
im not much for good advice for happy life thats all i can say

fight what other people say
i used to gather talk with pride til it burned my hand
words of wisdom i never did understand
just give me your hand, hand, hand

and im just as happy to watch you all wed
i'll just sit down right here meet you at the end one day
and i won't live in fear of what you forget
