Smash me all to pieces, kick a dream when it's down (Oh oh I want a reason) I said 'pull yourself together child Lift your chin off the ground' If I want a reason (any will do) If I need a reason (any will do) To stand up to you I won't hide myself from you I wear my soul on my boots Too much show leather lost Too many slammed doors gained I can take all of your knocks I might be numbed but non maimed And I'm wise to your game If I want a reason (any will do) If I need a reason (any will do) To stand up to you hey hey I won't hide myself from you I wear my soul on my boots
