Rip it off before it hurts bad
Get it over with you won’t feel that
You can only ride it so far
Before you hit the ground or land a new one

It doesn’t matter how you see it
Perspectives only good if its a true one
Thieves and cannibals aren't lazy
I’d woo you back here if you’d come easy

I’ve been slipping lately
but I’m Standing only barely
if you’ll hold on
I could be strong
Or I’ll fall down on the cool ground

Now lets talk about the progress
I doesn’t matter put your best foot forward
You’ve got to pass through a tunnel
To see the light out there is getting darker

I’ve been slipping lately
but I’m Standing only barely
if you’ll hold on
I could be strong
Or I’ll fall down on the cool ground

The Opportunity is getting through to me
Another fad fades yet another charade
soaked in apathy can’t be mad at me
life’s OK just a little decay

I’ve been slipping lately
but I’m Standing only barely
if you’ll hold on
I could be strong
Or I’ll fall down on the cool ground

Rip it off before it hurts bad
Get it over with you won’t feel that
