Get Out Of Your Own Way lyrics

Get out of your own way, ah-ah-ah-ah
Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way, ah-ah-ah-ah
Get out of your own way

Love hurts
Love is the most meaningless of words
Love is a balloon but then it bursts
All it takes to lose it is a crank with a tank
And we all walk the plank

Liberty
A harbour in New York, she held a torch for me
Égalitié, she threw in some fraternity
An open hand she closed into a fist, with a kiss
Who could resist? Oh

Get out of your own way, ah-ah-ah-ah
Get out of your own way, whoa-oa-oa
I can sing it to you all night
If I could I’d make it alright, alright
There’s nothing stopping you, go outside
I can help you but it’s your fight

Fight back
Don’t take it lying down you’ve got to bite back
The face of liberty is starting to crack
She had a plan til she got a smack in the mouth
And it all went south

Freedom
I’m a slave whose looking for someone to lead me
I’m a master looking for someone to heed me
The promise land is there for those who need it most
And Lincoln’s ghost said

Get out of your own way, ah-ah-ah-oh-oh
Get out of your own way
I can sing it to you all night, all night
If I could I’d make it alright, alright
There’s nothing stopping you except what’s inside
I can help you but it’s your fight, your fight

Get out of your own way, ah-ah-ah-oh-oh
Get out of your own way
Get out of your own way, ah-ah-ah-oh-oh
Get out of your own way
