Whole Wheat Bread - Every Man For Himself Lyrics

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
