Try!  When every day life  starts to get you down  And your problems seem too many  When your job is shit, the rent is due  And you're down to your last penny  Where do you go? Who do you count on  When there's no place left to hide?  When your parents don'  like you and they told you so  They wish that you had died  Refrain:  I look at you - and I know what to do  I look at you - I know what to do  I look at you - and I know what to do  I look at you - I know what to do  They gotta try!  Now I'm not here to preach or tell you  The way you got to live  Just stop and thing about what you want  And what you want to give  Goddammit life is what we're here for  Then better get away from me  Refrain  Try again!  You got to get up in the  morning and try again  Not tomorrow - do it today  Young or old, it don't matter man  Don't let your life slip away  You got take a chance - push yourself  Stand up for what you know is right  Don't take no shit from anyone  Let'em know that you're ready to fight  Try again!  Now, there's no easy answers  But here's my final advice to you  Take control of your life, man  Work hard and follow thru  And if a friend is travelling a rocky roa  Then help him on his way  Tell him that he's got to try again  And try harder every day  Refrain  Repeat 3rd verse
