Too many times I am reminded what I sow I reap   Thanks for the tip but my own counsel will I keep   It’s such a shame you only see as far as hope is high   If only you could see what I’ve seen with your eyes      Choke down that advice reflex   And we’ll all get by just fine   Tuck back the pearls of wisdom   Or you’ll feel a piece of my mind      Who are you to tell me what is right?   You listen close   It’s my fucking life   I’ll let the rain fall where it may      How many dreams have you erased?   So far between and few   And I wonder why the world got the best of you   Feel free to disagree but you’ll just be a brick in my wall   So take me as I am or don’t take me at all      Choke down that advice reflex   And we’ll all get by just fine   Tuck back the pearls of wisdom   Or you’ll feel a piece of my mind      Who are you to tell me what is right?   You listen close   It’s my fucking life   I’ll let the rain fall where it may      Too late to think of stopping now   I can’t give up   I don’t know how   I will not live and die a slave      Have I always been wrong?   Maybe just maybe I don’t belong   Am I lost in the deep?   Maybe just maybe I’ll stay asleep      I do not want to wake up from this      Save me      And now I realize the dream was never like it seemed   What’s there to wake up from when it’s all real to me?
