The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Your Life lyrics

You were warned from the day you were born You were to young so you blew it off You were told you were gold but as you got old You discovered that you were to soft Delusions of greatness and grandeur Life can be hard just to live Demanding standards you'll never deliver If you had two of them to give [Chorus:] Nothing can prepare you for this You were way off of your guard Like it or not, it's how you were caught Now try not to take it too hard An accident no longer willing No longer willing to wait The recipe was for disaster Disaster was out on the plate Going down in a downward direction The momentums been taking its toll Pa**ed the plate to take up a collection It's been spiraling out of control [Chorus x2] The bottom was coming up quick I guess it just has to be hit The secret the key and the trick Is learning to deal with it It's uphill from this point on out And the pinnacles up at the top It hasn't been reached, only practiced and preached So at this point you might want to stop You might but might I suggest I suggest it's best just to climb Continue you've still got it in you And be thankful you've still got the time You've still got the time Nothing can prepare you for this (Ohh oh) You were way off of your guard (Ohh oh) Like it or not, it's how you were caught Now try not to take it to hard (Still got the time)
