Well it has been my point of view
We're born with our backs against the wall
So what's a modern man to do?
But to emulate the angry faces staring back at you
These are trying times
That we're living in
But there's still a place where the strange fit in
My friend, don't look down
You've got to face what's in front of you now
Don't waste your time making excuses
Cause son you're about to find out
You might just figure out
What you're made of
Oh I remember 25
Thinking I'd figured out my life
And I was positive the hardest part was through
After 6 records and 2 marriages
I'm still here paying dues
These are trying times
That we're living in
But there's still a place where the strange fit in
My friend, don't look down
You've got to face what's in front of you now
Don't waste your time making excuses
Cause son you're about to find out
That this is all a theme park
With a creepy carousel
Stop spinning around in circles
It's time you helped yourself
You might just figure out
What you're made of
Don't let them try to change us
Don't let them shut your mouth
Trust me I know, yeah I know
You don't always reap what you sow
Life's not fair, like we hoped
You're not stuck with the path you chose
You're not stuck with the path you chose
Don't look down
You've got to face what's in front of you now
Don't waste your time making excuses
Cause son you're about to find out
That this is all a theme park
With a creepy carousel
Stop spinning around in circles
It's time you helped yourself
You might just figure out
What you're made of
