| I know a man who could never relax
|
| Lonely in his bed, going over his tracks
|
| I know a man at the break of dawn
|
| He goes on, he goes on, he goes on
|
| I know a girl who keeps to herself
|
| Pushed all her dreams to the back of a shelf
|
| I know a girl and she’s almost gone
|
| She goes on, she goes on, she goes on
|
| And it’s alright
|
| Yeah, it’s alright
|
| They wanna build you up and make you a national treasure
|
| They wanna tear you apart and baby, you’re feeling the pressure
|
| I’m not gonna stand up
|
| Oh, they’re so great, they’re so cool
|
| I know a boy who can barely breathe
|
| Ain’t caught a breath since he was seventeen
|
| I know a boy with an iron lung
|
| He goes on, he goes on, he goes
|
| My daddy says, «Don't sweat it»
|
| My daddy says, «Don't forget it»
|
| My daddy says, «Don't let it get you down»
|
| 'Cause it’s alright
|
| Yeah, it’s alright, oh
|
| They wanna build you up and make you a national treasure
|
| They wanna tear you apart and baby, you’re feeling the pressure
|
| Well shake me alright
|
| Wake me already
|
| It’s taking all night
|
| And it’s making me edgy, yeah
|
| It doesn’t end like this
|
| Oh, no, no
|
| It doesn’t end like this
|
| Oh, no, no
|
| It doesn’t end like this
|
| Like this
|
| Cheap shot
|
| One more time
|
| Shake me alright
|
| Wake me already
|
| It’s taking all night
|
| And it’s making me edgy
|
| Shake me alright
|
| Shake me
|
| It’s taking all night
|
| And it’s making me edgy, ooh |
