You don't want to live by too many morals

Despite what your elders whispered in the cradle

Don't want to write the end before the start

And you don't want to dwell on what is beyond you

Despite what your better virtues may tell you

Don't want to put the horse before the you know what, you know what

Oh, ooh, ooh, oh, ooh

It's best not to live by too many morals

Enjoy the first sip before you finish the bottle

Don't want to lie in that bed before you made it

And don't second-guess something once you believe it

The world keeps on turning; you can take it or leave

Don't want to put the course before the heart

Cause you don't want to write that finishing line

Before you recall that arc in your mind

Careful to not be so careful before you step outside

You don't want to paint that finishing touch

Til you recall what you're dreaming of

Don't want to preach yourself out…

Out of too much life, out of too much life

Cause it's best not to dwell on some other man's fortunes

Another man's cravings, another girl's portions

Don't want to bet that sum before the parts

And it's best not to fancy too many favors

The more you were now, the less you were later

Don't want to put the horse before the cart

You don't want to whine before you're ducked under

Best to jump now and think on it after

It's best to be stupid and selfish while you're still young

Cause you don't want to be so overly cautious

So f*cking worried you're lost in the process

Best to forget yourself now, right at the start

Cause you don't want to write that finishing line

Before you recall that arc in your mind

Careful to not be so careful when you step outside

You don't want to paint that finishing touch

Before you recall what you're dreaming of

Don't want to preach yourself out… out of too much life

Life

You don't want to preach yourself out

Of life

You don't want to preach yourself out
