good evening people, welcome to the show
got something here I want you all to know
when laughin’ people bring on primal screams *
you got to think of what it’s gonna take to make your dreams
make it
don’t break it
I said make it
don’t break it
do then ya feel like the world’s coming down on you
you know that history repeats itself
but you just learned so by somebody else *
you know you do, you gotta think up fast *
you gotta figure what it’s gonna take to make it last
make it
don’t fake it
said make it
don’t fake it
better weather, pull yourself together
don’t be catchin’ the blues
better weather, pull yourself together
what have you got to lose
you’re only paying your dues
if you’re gone I’ll get you anyway
although you know what you’ve been going through
