You see the world through your cynical eyes,
                                  
You're a troubled young man, I can tell.
                        
You've got it all in the palm of your hand,
                                             /
But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest.
                                        
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it.
                                    
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it.

Why must you be such an angry young man?
                                      
When your future looks quite bright to me.
                           
And how can there be such a sinister plan,
                              
that could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man?
                                        
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it.
                                    
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it.

Get up, get back on your feet.

You're the one they can't beat, and you know it.
              /      C/    
Come on, let's see   what you've got.
           /     /      
Just take your best shot and don't blow it.
