Michael Guy Bowman - Roll With The Punches lyrics

Who do we know when we know who we are? Who do we play when we're playing our part? Why do we keep putting on disguises? Clinging to the cheapest of surprises Clothes make the man, but the man makes mistakes How to survive in a world full of fakes Why do we repress our own affections? Living by the code of our rejections Is it always so damn hard To learn to be happy with who you are? To roll with the punches Admit that our hunches Are the only truths we know Why must our praise be indulged by a score? How can we love when we live like a who*e? Why did we acquire these convictions? Guided not by joy but our afflictions Why call the gaffes when we're all making bluffs? Who says we're made of immutable stuff? Why do we keep burying the layers? Couldn't we admit we're only players? Is it always so damn hard To learn to be happy with who you are? To roll with the punches Admit that your hunches Are the only truths you know
