Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Relax, take it easy
[Verse 2]
You see the world through your cynical eyes
You're a troubled young man, I can tell
You got it all in the palm of your hand
But your hand's wet with sweat
And your head needs a rest
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
[Verse 3]
Why must you be such an angry, young man
When your future looks quite bright to me?
And how can there be such a sinister plan
That could hide such a lamb
Such a caring, young man?
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it (Fooling yourself)
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it (Killing yourself)
[Verse 4]
Get up
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it (Yeah, come on)
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 5]
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it (Fooling yourself)
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it (Killing yourself)
[Verse 6]
Get up
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it (Oh, come on)
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
