Sometimes you get it right away
|
Sometimes you have to fight for it
|
Sometimes you get it all right but
|
then sometimes you don't
|
|
oh-ho-ho!
|
|
A boy with a dream and a man with a song
|
Man says to boy, "You'd better push it along."
|
And the boy replies,
|
"Don't tell me what to do,
|
this is my dream that's the size of your shoe."
|
Boy talks back, but he wants to be a man
|
Boy's just scared cause he doesn't have a plan
|
Man tells boy one piece of advice,
|
"If you want the whole pie first have one slice."
|
|
Sometimes you get it right away
|
Sometimes you have to fight for it
|
Sometimes you get it right then but
|
I wanna hear you say
|
|
Boys and girls need all of their time
|
but this time is clearly special
|
|
oohho
|
|
Boys and girls need all the time they have
|
to reach the potential of their present tense I now present the girl
|
|
Girl wants to be a woman with the dance
|
Woman tells girl that she doesn't have a chance
|
Girl talks back,
|
"I'll do what i choose! Fuck that, I got nothin' to lose."
|
Girl wants it but she doesn't practice
|
Only exercise she gets is on a mattress
|
with the boy that wants to be a man
|
spending whole days just forgetting their plans
|
|
Sometimes you get it right away
|
Sometimes you have to fight for it
|
Sometimes you get it right then but
|
I wanna hear you say
|
|
Don't have to burn you down __ __
|
now that I really care
|
You don't have to keep it all inside
|
and shoulder the weight that you bear
|
|
sometimes sometimes sometimes sometimes sometimes (x14) (you get it right away, you have to fight for it, you get it right then but then sometimes you don't, oohho)
|
|
We all been told that we're nothing when we were younger
|
Some go and gather and some become the hunters
|
But no matter what the implications
|
can't always listen to the older generations
|
|
Look at these two who didn't have a chance
|
Kept to their goals and each other in advance
|
Now they listen to the man song and the boy and the girl that the woman danced on
|
|
Sometimes you get it right away
|
Sometimes you have to fight for it
|
Sometimes you get it right then but
|
I wanna hear you say
|
|
Sometimes you get it right away
|
Sometimes you have to fight for it
|
Sometimes you get it right then but
|
I wanna hear you say
