John Zdrojeski - Battle of the Bands . . . in the Rain

Here's when it tends to go wrong 
When even after all of my songs
Men worry what they lose if they get away
So scared of what's unknown 
They cling to things that they bemoan
And stay the same 
Afraid of pain 
Afraid of any change

But Jack I can give you Option B
You just tune out the certainty 
Of the Misters and their fated misery
Because now you heard them sing through me
You gotta see their melodies
Only keep you silently
Flailing in the weeds

And with no footsteps to follow
Or shoes to fill that don't fit you 
You could find your own truth
I know what I'd choose

That's right, Jack, let him go
Fall back on me kiddo, come on home
You don't change, you don't grow
Because you're nothing without my say-so
And any time you think you find
A song to sing that ain't one of mine
I'll be there when you're all alone
To remind you of the devil that you know

I'm the way it's always been
I'm the way it'll always be
I'm the way it's always been
I'm the way it'll always be
I'm the way it's always been
I'm the way it'll always be
I'm the way it's always been
I'm the way it'll always

I can't save you
I can't make you
Give all you got until you break through 
They might not ever leave your mind
But it doesn't mean you can't leave them behind
You gotta sing your own song now
And if they start to get too loud
If the Misters try to bring you down
You got me, Jack, I'll be around
With a shot of rock 'n' roll
Little thunder to drown 'em out 

Sometimes you wait until you're steady
Damn yourself to fall
Sometimes you move before you're ready
Or you're never gonna move at all
Sometimes you wait until you're steady
Damn yourself to fall
Sometimes you move before you're ready
Or you're never gonna move
Never gonna move at all

Only one way
Only one way I know to get right
You gotta leave the devil you know
Devil you know behind
