Walk It Off

I spent my younger years in shame
Just a little boy
Taught that the world was all a spot
Hey kid, you’ll see!
Fight hard and stay the course
Then all that you see here is yours
I guess they made a man of me
Don’t write it off
Don’t forget about
What led you here like it didn’t count
I learned to walk by falling first
I’m still the kid covered in dirt
We are as we are taught
Shake it off
And shut your mouth
Suck it up
Make father proud
Go walk it off
Go walk it off
You’re not a man
Go walk it off
Walk it off
We are as we are taught
Oh-oh-oh
The war was hard but I was brave
Answering the call
Please heal my wounds
And keep me safe
At night I’d sort my feelings out
Some things you just don’t talk about
At ten that’s an awful place to be
Don’t write if off
Don’t forget about
We’ll let you hear
Like it didn’t count
I learned to walk
By falling first
I’m still the kid
Covered in dirt
We are as we are taught
Shake it off
And shut your mouth
Suck it up
Make father proud
Go walk it off
Go walk it off
You’re not a man
Go walk it off
Walk it off
We are as we are taught
Now I know
It wasn’t me
Now I know
It wasn’t me
And I think I’m finally good enough
For any normal purposes
Is that all I’ll ever be
Now I know
It wasn’t me
Now I know
It wasn’t me
And I think I’m finally good enough
For any normal purposes
Is that all I’ll ever be
We are as we are taught
Shake it off
And shut your mouth
Suck it up
Make father proud
Go walk it off
Go walk it off
You’re not a man
Go walk it off
Walk it off
We are as we are taught
We are as we are taught
We are as we are taught
