no work, all play

la la la la

la la la la

la la la la

some people go through life like it's a breeze

they float their way through days

and never feel the grey

and their tears fall

but they don't sting

their temporary marks

not always from the heart

they live lightly

breathe so easy

no digging in

to what's within

no work all play

what a mistake

let the clouds roll in and fill the sky

get that melancholy feel inside and

work on yourself

don't run from the pain you felt

you don't have to slide

life's not one big high

la la la la

la la la la

la la la la

sometimes it's hard lookin' at yourself

you'd rather place the blame

then point it your own way

i still do hide from my feelings myself

but i'm trying hard these days

not to procrastinate

and face my fate

stay on my case

no one is perfect

no one's the same

we've all got problems

that we haven't faced

the challenges well

they'll make you strong

don't put them off for too long

you gotta know yourself

to be yourself

you gotta do it all the way

you gotta know yourself

to be yourself

it's a struggle everyday

you gotta know yourself to be yourself

you gotta do it all the way

and it's a struggle everyday

you gotta know yourself to be yourself

you gotta do it all the way

you gotta know yourself to be yourself

and it's a struggle everyday

you gotta know yourself to be yourself

you gotta do it all the way

you gotta know yourself to be yourself

and it's a struggle everyday

you gotta know yourself to be yourself

and it's a struggle everyday

you gotta know yourself to be yourself

and it's a struggle everyday
