Every Man for Himself

We're all alone in this world, so save yourself
 No one can hear your voice, don't waste your breath
 You fall behind and no one will stay to help you
 Your lady luck ain't got no patience left
 She said you've been programmed to fail the test
 Around your age, that was the way I felt, too
 But there comes a time when a man earns his stripes
 But no badge of honor is worth his life
 Don't take no shit
 Don't take no shit
 Can't move along when you're right here, standing by
 Asking yourself "What kind of man am I?"
 None of these thoughts will help you pass the time through
 You've got dreams, but you can't just fantasize
 Sitting around like your ass is paralyzed
 You gotta move even when you can't decide to
 Cuz there comes a time when a man earns his stripes
 But no badge of honor is worth his life
 And every long day must soon turn to night
 So go get what's yours, you deserve what's right
 Don't take no shit
 Don't take no shit
 Nobody waits for you to catch your breath
 At 21, it's every man for himself
 It's every man for himself
 We're all alone in this world, so save yourself
 No one can hear your voice, don't waste your breath
 You fall behind and no one will stay to help you
