Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Another rude awakening
The hard life that's been our school
More of a cruel day's reckonings
Our prime time used up too soon
[Verse 2]
There is no kindness to waste
Why help those crying for more?
It spins you around, takes you for a ride
What is the point to even try?
Somehow got to learn to accept the rejection
[Verse 3]
The tired thoughts from troubling
A weary mind from worrying
Your constant fears upon wakening
Your real life left in your dreams
[Verse 4]
There is no kindness to waste
Why help those crying for more?
It spins you around, takes you for a ride
What is the point to even try?
Somehow got to learn to accept the rejection
[Verse 5]
Accept the rejection
Accept the rejection
Yeah
[Verse 6]
Another
Another
Another rude awakening
The hard life that's been our school
More of a cruel day's reckonings
Our prime time used up too soon
[Verse 7]
There is no kindness to waste
Why help those crying for more?
It spins you around, takes you for a ride
What is the point to even try?
Somehow, someway got to learn to accept the rejection
Accept the rejection
