Lyrics For The Sake of My Pride - The Acorn

For The Sake of My Pride

You always knew what you wanted
in fact you always fawn it how you had your plans laid out back then
But now you come to realize
the truth and the advice
about the best laid plans of mice and man
No I just can’t take it no I don’t think I’ll make it there’s too much at stake and I can’t abide
No I just can’t fake it not for the sake of my pride
Now as you get older
there’s more you’ve got to shoulder
everything comes down to the bottom line
In the eyes the beholder
just like I’ve always told her
now you’ve got to ask where it is you sign
No I just can’t take it no I don’t think I’ll make it there’s too much at stake and I can’t abide
No I just can’t fake it know that my heart is aching
it would be a mistake for the sake of my pride
for the sake of my pride
for the sake of my pride
Money always finds wealth
but illness rarely finds health
so crunch your numbers and pop your pills
When your final day comes
the balance and sums
won’t count for much as your grave gets filled
No I just can’t take it no I don’t think I’ll make it there’s too much at stake and I can’t abide
No I just can’t fake it know that my heart is aching
it would be a mistake for the sake of my pride
for the sake of my pride
for the sake of my pride
