Down The Barricades Lyrics

I'm tired of compromising all the time apologizing
For the way you are
Trying to get a handle understanding what you can and
you've come so far

Everybody tells you to bend till you break
And it takes all you've got to believe in it sometimes
Everybody wants you to change to a stranger
And shine like a star but you already are

You live and you grow
And you learn and you go
Yeah you hold on yeah you hold on
You trip and you grow
And you burn down the barricades

Sexy little expert dressed in Armani and Gucci
Tring to tell you how to live
All their little shames to steal the pieces of your dream
When it's all you've got to give

Everybody needs to believe that the evening will turn in to
day
And to stay with certainty
All you really want is a chance to become
And to shine like the star that you already are

In the absence of common sense
Understand what you're up against
Cut your own path through the aftermath
You're time is coming fast you're laughing
