Try Again

(album: The Morning After - 1988)

Try!
When every day life starts to get you down
And your problems seem too many
When your job is shit, the rent is due
And you're down to your last penny
Where do you go? Who do you count on
When there's no place left to hide?
When your parents don' like you and they told you so
They wish that you had died

I look at you and I know what to do
I look at you I know what to do
I look at you and I know what to do
I look at you I know what to do

They gotta try!
Now I'm not here to preach or tell you
The way you got to live
Just stop and thing about what you want
And what you want to give
Goddammit life is what we're here for
Then better get away from me

Try again!
You got to get up in the morning and try again
Not tomorrow do it today
Young or old, it don't matter man
Don't let your life slip away
You got take a chance push yourself
Stand up for what you know is right
Don't take no shit from anyone
Let'em know that you're ready to fight

Try again!
Now, there's no easy answers
But here's my final advice to you
Take control of your life, man
Work hard and follow through
And if a friend is travelling a rocky road
Then help him on his way
Tell him that he's got to try again
And try harder every day
