Falls So Fast - Not How It Turned Out

There was a time I used to think
That working hard was all you had to do
To get ahead and make your mark
Just pull up your bootstraps and step out of the dark
So I got a job and bust my hump
And worked too late to do the things I loved
The bootstraps broke, I fell flat on my face
Ignoring your passions doesn’t pay to great

Ooooh… It’s not how it turned out.

Remember when we used to say
Access to information’ll save the world someday
Remember when they use to shout
More guns in school’ll keep the bad guys out
Those who think they know what’s best
Think of themselves and they ignore the rest
Just do what’s right and they ignore the rest
Just do what’s right and follow your heart
Listen to the thumping that’s inside of your chest, or:

Oooh… it’s not how it turned out.

It’s not what other people say
Conventional wisdom’s just that
You got to get out of your own way
If you want to take it back
