Pay the burnt bridge toll!!! So practice what you preach! Practice what you preach! Preach! Practice what you preach! Practice what you preach! Preach! Practice what you preach! You think your life's so grad You don't believe a word you say Your feet aren't on the ground You let your life just slip away Just so uncertain of your body and your soul The promises you make, your mind so blank And then you lose control, then you lose control! Pay the burnt bridge toll, then you lose control Pay the burnt bridge toll, so practice what you preach So practice what you preach! Preach! Practice what you preach! Practice what you preach!
