Walk It Off

(album: Interrobang - 2019)

I spent my younger years in shame
Just a little boy
Taught that the world was all a sport
Hey kid, you'll see!
Fight hard and stay the course
Then all that you see here is yours
I guess they made a man of me

Don't write it off, don't forget about
What led you here like it didn't count
I learnt to walk by falling first
I'm still the kid covered in dirt

We are as we are taught

Shake it off and shut your mouth
Suck it up, make father proud
Go walk it off, go walk it off
You're not a man, go walk it off
Go walk it off
We are as we are taught

The war was hard but I was brave
Answering the call
Please heal my wounds and keep me safe
At night I'd sort my feelings out
Some things you just don't talk about
At ten that's an awful place to be

Don't write if off, don't forget about
What led you hear like it didn't count
I learnt to walk by falling first
I'm still the kid covered in dirt

We are as we are taught

Shake it off and shut your mouth
Suck it up, make father proud
Go walk it off, go walk it off
You're not a man, go walk it off
Go walk it off
We are as we are taught

Now I know it wasn't me
Now I know it wasn't me
And I think I'm finally good enough
For any normal purposes
Is that all I'll ever be

Now I know it wasn't me
Now I know it wasn't me
And I think I'm finally good enough
For any normal purposes
Is that all I'll ever be

We are as we are taught

Shake it off and shut your mouth
Suck it up, make father proud
Go walk it off, go walk it off
You're not a man, go walk it off
Go walk it off
We are as we are taught
We are as we are taught
We are as we are taught
