You Can't Battle the World If You're Going to Battle Yourself

You've been changed into something new
 All I ever wanted to know was the real you
 Realize that nothing in life is true
 What adds up is what we say and do
 You too. Come on
 Better times are headed your way
 I think you really oughtta know right now
 It's time to slow down
 Because
 You can't battle the world if you're going to battle yourself
 You can't battle the world if you're going to battle yourself
 And one million tears they just will not help
 Time. It always finds the cracks
 Do you know that everything might happen so fast
 And will I learn from my mistakes
 Am I afraid? Oh
 Of living with the unknown
 You watch it all go. Throw it out your window
 I don't know what hit me. But I roll it up into a...
 One big conspiracy. Am I the cheese?
 Don't repent. Discuss with me
 On top and it's all in my head
 Down low and it's all in my head
 You can't battle the world if you're going to battle yourself
 You can't battle the world if you're going to battle yourself
 And ask yourself please: is this the man you want to be?
