I've got a stage and a mic Which I use to say things you won't like But I spent years thinking I was alone (Thinking I was alone) Now I know, now I know, that I'm not, that I'm not And I'm sharing that comfort with those Who think that hope is lost
Oh and I'm so proud of where I am I'm learning where to stand or to tread lightly
So hold back Steadfast you've gotta breathe And be content, just count to ten Like all the experts say and if The drugs don't seem to work Then they've got a padded room for you To get your just deserve
If I could chose my own name I'd chose something that's bold and fits Like anger, aggression, or cunningly brash By the skin of my teeth but with timing and class
Oh woe is me (Oh woe is me) Oh woe were us (Oh woe were us) But not anymore we stand up for ourselves We're like captains at war, we'll get followed to hell
Oh and I'm so proud of where I am I'm learning where to stand or to tread lightly
So hold back steadfast you gotta breathe And be content, just count to ten Like all the experts say and if The drugs don't seem to work Then they've got a padded room for you To get your just deserve
I and I, we're taking control of our lives I and I, we're taking control of our lives I and I, we're taking control of our lives Everything's alright I and I, we're taking control of our lives I and I, we're taking control of our lives I and I, we're taking control of our lives Everything's alright
So (So) hold back Steadfast you've gotta breathe And be content, just count to ten Like all the experts say and if The drugs don't seem to work Then they've got a padded room for you To get your just deserve
