"Bottom of the 9th"

You've gotta have love in your heart
                                  
And you've gotta have pain in your life 

And you've gotta have some vision and 
                              
Confusion for some peace of mind


You've gotta respect what you can't control 
                                      
'Cause you'll never even get to second base 

When you're on your ass
                                    
'Cause you got brushed back when you crowded the plate


You've gotta know when you're all fucked up
                                       
And when you're running a cheap game on yourself 
                                                                
'Cause you're only gonna make life miserable for you and everyone else


If you wanna get into a zone 
                                         
You're gonna have to take risks on either side 

'Cause there's nothing worse than getting called 
                        
Out looking at the third strike 
      
With two outs in the bottom of the ninth

                           
You've gotta live your life
