Grin And Bare It

Sure, go ahead and drink, girly

But don't forget from when you came

You're just tryna blow off steam, girly

Not that I blame you, every night's the same

You finish the show

You rinse out your tights

You dive into a dive and raise a toast to better nights

You get a little drunk

And maybe start a few fights

But you grin and bear it

You run for the train

The one you just missed

You're out of cigarettes

You've got a headache and you're pissed

You lie awake countin' all the bald heads you kissed

But you grin and bear it

Wake up, quick, smell the coffee

It's a brand-new day

If you wake up lonely that's the price you pay

And you will

You run from the train

It's a quarter to two

You slap a pound of wall paint on and barely make your cue

You hit the stage and smile

'Cause shit what else can you do?

Or say grin and bear four shows a day

Oh, wake up, quick, change your costume

Second act is on

Life ain't just a rat race, it's a marathon

And then you're gone

So pity yourself

But know in your gut

That no one ever died because their life was in a rut

And learn a little lesson from a gal who says "what the hey"

Grin and bear it, grin and bear it, grin and bear it

Grin and bear it for just a day!
