Get out of your own way
Ah, ah
Get out of your own way
Ah, ah

Love hurts, now you're the girl who's left with no words
Your heart's a balloon but then it bursts
It doesn't take a cannon just to pin, your skin's not covering

And resistance, love has got to fight for its existence
The enemy has armies of assistants
The amorous, the glamorous
A kiss, a fist, listen to this, oh

Get out of your own way
Ah, ah
Get out of your own way
Ah, ah

I can sing it to you all night, all night
If I could I'd make it alright, alright
Nothing's stopping you except what's inside
I can help you but it's your fight, your fight

Fight back
Don't take it lying down
You got to bite back
The face of liberty's starting to crack
She had a plan until she got a smack in the mouth
And it all went south like

Freedom, the slaves are looking for someone to lead them
The master's looking for someone to need him
The promised land is there for those who need it most
And Lincoln's ghost says

Get out of your own way
Ah, ah
Get out of your own way
Ah, ah

I can sing it to you all night, all night
If I could I’d make it alright, alright
Nothing’s stopping you except what’s inside
I can help you but it's your fight, your fight

Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way

Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way

Bless God the arrogant
For there is the Kingdom of their own company
Blessed are the superstars
For the magnificence in their light
We understand better, our own insignificance
Blessed are filthy rich
For you can only truly own what you give away
Like your pain
