Anthony Jay Sanders - I Could Pa** Tonight lyrics
[Verse 1] I was born, then I started growing up I was curious and loud in spite of all “enough's enough”s It was just how I was built Jay Sanders and Catherine Wilt It made me an easy target when I talked I was tall, but I'd get pushed until my face hit a sidewalk I was kicked while I was down My name no longer proper noun Though I was chipped, I wasn't chopped down yet I posed a point I would not soon forget [Chorus] I'll never quit It's gonna take a lot more than that No, I won't go out so fast I was built to last I don't give up I'm a river with an ocean end And though I could pa** tonight I won't go without a fight [Verse 2] With all that said, school was always difficult I didn't know about the parts of me that wanted revolt I was eaten by the dull I was irresponsible With each failed cla**, I dug a hole a few more feet I was embarra**ed and would keep all of my F's discreet I had let my teachers down My name no longer proper noun But I bit my tongue and pa**ed by skin of teeth And now I sing what used to live beneath [Chorus] I'll never quit It's gonna take a lot more than that No, I won't go out so fast I was built to last I don't give up I'm a river with an ocean end And though I could pa** tonight I won't go without a fight [Verse 3] Speaking of songs, from when I was nine to now I would crease a CD sleeve with my guitar out I'd write songs as best I could Formed a band like my heroes would There were those who thought I sang like an Anglophile They didn't like my teen dreams or my words or style I was just only a kid, ambitious and insipid But as I grew, I seemed to hit my mark 'Til my wheels fall off, I won't stop spouting sparks [Chorus] I'll never quit It's gonna take a lot more than that No, I won't go out so fast I was built to last I don't give up I'm a river with an ocean end And though I could pa** tonight I won't go without a fight [Verse 4] I got fired for the first time at twenty-one The Second City threw a brick weighing twenty tons It's the only job I've lost I was my own nightmare boss So I got myself a job at the Old Town School Money's always been a game, I can't dodge the rules I took every chance I saw All my friends were rabbits' paws And soon enough, they called on me for work And I begged nobody, persistence has its perks [Chorus] I'll never quit It's gonna take a lot more than that No, I won't go out so fast I was built to last I don't give up I'm a river with an ocean end And though I could pa** tonight I won't go without a fight [Verse 5] Out of shape, I spent my whole life being so I've been approachable and moldable and almost dough I've felt bad in my own skin and the clothes I don't fit in I've felt sick and depressed in the realest way All of the toxins that I've taken in have come to stay I care less for how I look It's my insides that have me shook But now I'm running, eating better, and it feels great I will never let my health disintegrate [Chorus] I'll never quit It's gonna take a lot more than that No, I won't go out so fast I was built to last I don't give up I'm a river with an ocean end And though I could pa** tonight I won't go without a fight
