I've got a stage and a mic Which I use to say things you won't like But I spent years thinking I was alone Now I know, now I know, that I'm not, that I'm not And I'm sharing that comfort with those Who think that hope is lost Oh, and I'm so proud of where I am I'm learning where to stand or to tread lightly So hold back Steadfast you've gotta breathe And be content, just count to ten Like all the experts say and hear The d** don't seem to work And they've got a padded room for you To get your just deserts If I could choose my own name I'd choose something that's bold and fits Like anger, aggression or cunningly brash By the skin of my teeth but with timing and cla** Oh, woe is me Oh, woe were us But not anymore we stand up for ourselves We're like captains at war, we'll get followed to hell Oh, and I'm so proud of where I am I'm learning where to stand or to tread lightly So hold back Steadfast you've gotta breathe And be content, just count to ten Like all the experts say and hear The d** don't seem to work And they've got a padded room for you To get your just deserts I and I, we're taking control of our lives I and I, we're taking control of our lives I and I, we're taking control of our lives Everything's alright I and I, we're taking control of our lives I and I, we're taking control of our lives I and I, we're taking control of our lives Everything's alright So, so hold back Steadfast you've gotta breathe And be content, just count to ten Like all the experts say and hear The d** don't seem to work And they've got a padded room for you To get your just deserts
