Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a dignity in calloused hands
The tools you have are not for sale
But sometimes you're the hammer
And sometimes
You're the nail
[Verse 2]
It's not about how you get lost
It's what you do to find the trail
Well sometimes you're Ahab
And sometimes
You're the whale
[Verse 3]
Doo-doo-doo bah
Doo-doo-doo bah
Doo-doo-doo bah
[Verse 4]
When frogs are falling from the sky
Just take responsibility
But sometimes you're the prisoner
And sometimes
You're the free
[Verse 5]
Just let your conscience be your guide
Then heartbreak hits you, c'est la vie
Well sometimes you're the Shih Tzu
And sometimes
You're the tree
[Verse 6]
Doo-doo-doo bah
Doo-doo-doo bah, that's right
Doo-doo-doo bah
[Verse 7]
Sometimes you're the river
Sometimes you're the sea
Sometimes you're a stranger to yourself, it's a dangerous place to be
[Verse 8]
But you'll be fine
Just remember where you come from
How you got the song
Then you'll always get it right more than you get it wrong
[Verse 9]
We're with you in the mirror
We're right down to the bone
[Verse 10]
Doo-doo-doo bah (C'est La Vie)
Doo-doo-doo bah
Doo-doo-doo bah
