lyrics

You people seem to walk through life,
A perfect balance of joy and strife,
But rarely get the time to think,
(INDEPENDENTLY)
So scared of being alone,
Won't venture out of your comfort zone,
Too scared to even raise a fist,

You've got to do it for yourself,
Don't just stop and wait for someone else,
It's up to you to make a stand,
There's no-one there to hold your hand,
You've got to do it for yourself,

I find it hard to sympathise,
With anybody living a lie,
Pretending everything's okay,
They say they'll change, you don't care how,
Now picture twenty years from now,
Yeah that's your kids there being fucked,

You've got to do it for yourself,
Don't just stop and wait for someone else,
It's up to you to make a stand,
There's no-one there to hold your hand,
You've got to do it for yourself,

(IGNORANCE IS BLISS x4)

Blissfully unaware you live day to day,
You talk with nothing much to say,
So how about that weather Bench?
(IT'S PARTLY CLOUDY)
When will you people realise,
Too late when bombs ignite the skies,
You'll wish you used your fucking heads,

You've got to do it for yourself,
Don't just stop and wait for someone else,
It's up to you to make a stand,
There's no-one there to hold your hand,
You've got to do it for yourself,

You've got to do it for yourself x4
