| If you can change your mind, you can change yourself
|
| Only you decide, yeah, nobody else
|
| If you wanna be good to your baby
|
| Do you wanna be good to your baby?
|
| Like it’s a goddamn cruise, you coast your way through life
|
| On the same old excuses, only you decide
|
| If you wanna be good to your baby
|
| Do you wanna be good to your baby?
|
| I watched the earth open its mouth up wide
|
| I saw the ground, through all its teeth, swallow a vanishing child
|
| I saw the logical ends of enforced self-denial
|
| So know: The story you tell yourself about your lot in life
|
| Need not be your lot defined
|
| So go and tell whatever story you like
|
| You’ve just got to be good to your baby
|
| And we all
|
| We share a common excuse
|
| And we are
|
| We are, we are, we are
|
| We are all waiting on you
|
| With the ground open wide
|
| You’ve got to be good
|
| And we are, we are, we are
|
| We are all waiting on you |
