Get out of your own way, hey, hey Get out of your own way, hey, hey Love hurts Now you look out, who's left with no words? Your heart's a balloon, but then it bursts It doesn't take a cannon, just a pin Your skin's not covering And resistance Love has got to fight for its existence The enemy has armies of assistance The amorist, the glamorous, the kiss A fist, listen to this, oh Get out of your own way, oh, I Get out of your own way, oh, I I could sing it to you all night, all night If I could, I'd make it alright, alright Nothing's stopping you except what's inside I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight Fight back Don't take it lyin' down, you got to bite back The face of liberty's starting to crack She had a plan up until she got smacked in the mouth And it all went south Like freedom The slaves are lookin' for someone to lead them The master's lookin' for someone to need him The promised land is there for those who need it most And Lincoln's ghost said Get out of your own way, oh, I Get out of your own way, oh, I I could sing it to you all night, all night If I could, I'd make it alright, alright Nothing's stopping you except what's inside I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight Get out of your own way Get out of your own way Get out of your own way Get out of your own way Get out of your own way Blessed are the arrogant For there is the kingdom of their own company Blessed are the superstars For the magnificence in their light We understand better our own insignificance Blessed are the filthy rich For you can only truly own what you give away Like your pain
