Get Out of Your Own Way

Get out of your own way

Ah, ah

Get out of your own way

Ah, ah

Love hurts, now you're the girl who's left with no words

Your heart's a balloon, but then it bursts

It doesn't take a cannon, just a pin, your skin's not covering

And resistance, love has got to fight for its existence

The enemy has armies of assistance

The amorous, the glamorous

A kiss, a fist, listen to this, oh

Get out of your own way

Ah, ah

Get out of your own way

Ah, ah

I could sing it to you all night, all night

If I could I'd make it alright, alright

Nothing's stopping you except what's inside

I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight

Fight back, don't take it lying down, you got to bite back

The face of liberty's starting to crack

She had a plan until she got a smack in the mouth

And it all went south like

Freedom, the slaves are looking for someone to lead them

The master's looking for someone to need him

The promised land is there for those who need it most

And Lincoln's ghost said

Get out of your own way

Ah, ah

Get out of your own way

Ah, ah

I can sing it to you all night, all night

If I could I'd make it alright, alright

Nothing's stopping you except what's inside

I can help you but it's your fight, your fight

Get out of your own way

Get out of your own way

Get out of your own way

Get out of your own way

Get out of your own way

Blessed are the arrogant

For there is the kingdom of their own company

Blessed are the superstars

For the magnificence in their light

We understand better, our own insignificance

Blessed are the filthy rich

For you can only truly own what you give away

Like your pain
