Figure It Out

(album: The Screaming Jets - 1995)

You never seem to get it right the first time
Oh yeah, but you gotta get it right before you die
All around the world of institutions and new religions
Gotta tear the blinkers from your eyes

Well, it is natural you gotta block out your solution
Is it your right to refuse your right to care
Is this one of the things that you refuse to dwell on
You're just gonna beat around the bush, vanish in your lies

What if it's the bed you have to lie in
What if they can't tell that you've been fighting

Figure it out, you can't fight it, its dying while you speak
Figure it out, don't block it out

Wrap your mind up in a suitcase and hit the track
Such a long way down, you'll never get back
Build your life a castle not you're throwing it all away
That was your life you lived it yesterday

What it it's the bed you have to lie in
What if they can't tell that you've been fighting

Figure it out you can't fight it, its dying while you sleep
Yeah figure it out, don't block it out

What I really want, what I really wants you to love me
Do you love me?
What I really want, what I really wants you to hate me
What I really want is you to help me
What I really want is you to break me

I said what if it's the bed that you gotta lie in
What if it's the very same bed that I've gotta die in

Figure it out, you can't fight it, its dying now you're crying
Figure it out, don't block it out
It's your life and the times we're living in
