what is it that you tell yourself | your own lies that you believe | convince yourself and all the others | of what you think that you've achieved | what you have is what they give you | that’s the way of your success | only that you took from others | you drag 'em down with no regrets | whoo-hoo | and when the curtain falls | whoo-hoo | you realize the ship is sinking | whoo-hoo | a wish is not enough | whoo-hoo | it's what you do – that's all that matters | is it enough what you tell yourself | or will you carry on in fear | now's the time to change and rise up | hopeless thoughts will disappear | a different heart forms a different mind | nothing’s harder to achieve | now convince yourself and all the others | that what you fight for is not unreal | whoo-hoo | and when the curtain falls | whoo-hoo | you realize the ship is sinking | whoo-hoo | a wish is not enough | whoo-hoo | it's what you do - that's all that matters
