Try Again

When everyday life starts to get you down
And your problems seem too many
When your job is shit, and the rent is due
And you’re down to your last penny
Where do you go, who do you count on?
No place left to hide
When your parents don’t like you
And they told you so
They wish that you had died
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
You gotta try
Hey I’m not here to preach or tell you
The way you got to live
Just stop and think about what you want
And what you want to give
Goddamn it life is what we’re here for
Not to watch the fuckin' TV
But if that’s where you think the answer is
Then brother get away from me
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
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 gotta 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 through
And if a friend is traveling a rocky road
Then help him on his way
Tell him that he’s got to try again
And try harder everyday
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
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 gotta 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
