take it upon yourself

when there's no shoulder on which to lean

and it's clear no one will intervene

to make sure no harm will come to you

and yours

but you know you have to

everyone gets tossed into the fray

though they never mean it

some might say

if there's anything that we can do

might as well believe in you-know-who

take it upon yourself

even though you'll be wanting

some assistance

take it upon yourself

you're the only one acting

in your interest

now that all but you have called it quits

any favor loses sheen when it's

weighed against what they want in return

take it to the bridge and watch it burn

take it upon yourself

don't be taking the back road

least resistance

you take it upon yourself

you're not overreacting

there's a difference

take it upon yourself

even though you'll be wanting

some assistance

take it upon yourself

you're the only one acting

in your interest

go

take it upon yourself

go

take it upon yourself

go

take it upon yourself

go

take it upon yourself
