 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Every 7 years your black cats and broken mirrors reach their expiration date
Every 7 years you get a brand new body cuz your cells they regenerate
Every 7 years you get the 7 year itch cuz you need a little change of scene
Don't just scratch the surface, gotta dig a little deeper
See you're living in this world like its a pinball machine
Who's it gonna be? Who's gonna push your little buttons 
Send you rocketing into the abyss?
Cuz when you're gone you're long gone, honey
And you don't leave a trace or a change of address

If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough
Quit looking for loopholes to get through the hard stuff
If your excuses don't kill ya I guess you're strong enough 
To stick it out. I guess you'll stick it out

You can run away if you want to but you know that you'll never really make an escape
Not even if you walk a mile in Hermes tennis shoes or borrow one of Superman's capes
Cuz that's the funny thing the tragic thing about our fear 
We take it with us everywhere we go
You gotta turn around and face it, face to face
You gotta grab it by the collar, smack it smack dab square in the nose
Confrontation, resignation, sweet salvation, Hell, Damnation either way it's difficult
But if you keep doing the same old thing, you're gonna get the same result

If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough
Quit looking for loopholes to get through the hard stuff
If your excuses don't kill ya I guess you're strong enough 
To stick it out. I guess you'll stick it out

You'll never get anywhere leaving well enough alone
Nothin' lifts a heavy heart like some elbow grease and a funny bone
Between the worry and regret, you're stuck there in the middle
You can't take it anymore, I guess you gotta give a little

If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough
Quit looking for loopholes to get through the hard stuff
If your excuses don't kill ya I guess you're strong enough 
To stick it out. I guess you'll stick it out
