Lyrics
What You Isn't
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You got to wake up and be a man
And make a plan, you're going to win it
You got to do everything I said
Until you're dead, just get on in it
You got to walk through the fire and fear
And say "I'm here", now come and get it
You got to break down the walls of glass
That kick your ass, you're going to win it
You got to rip off the head of your dreams
Because it seems, there's something in it
You got to wake up and be a man
And have a plan, just go and get it
You got to walk through the fire and fear
And say "I'm here", just come and get it
You got to do everything I said
Until you're dead, you're going to win it
