Song Description

The grass is greener on the other side because they don't want you walking over there, but go ahead...life is too short to hide who you are.

Lyrics

VERSE
I say two and two make five
Greater than the sum of our parts
Wasted tears for someone else
Colder than winters heart

Don't lower your expectations
About what's down the road
There's always rules to exceptions
Debt for what you're owed

CHORUS
Be careful what you wish for
No one owes you a thing
Be careful what you risk for
The far right or the left wing

The world will chew you up
If you let it get to you
Make your own mind up
Believe in your own view

VERSE
Nobody's born the same
That's by the grand design
The different flavors of life
Is what makes it so damn fine

Don't buy what they sell you
You see it every day
Spoon fed by the talking heads
There got to be a better way

CHORUS
Be careful what you wish for
No one owes you a thing
Be careful what you risk for
The far right or the left wing

The world will chew you up
If you let it get to you
Make your own mind up
Believe in your own view

BRIDGE
You never know who's watching you
The worlds a big bad place
Life can be a long strange trip
Don't let it be a waste

CHORUS
Be careful what you wish for
No one owes you a thing
Be careful what you risk for
The far right or the left wing

The world will chew you up
If you let it get to you
Make your own mind up
Believe in your own view

The world will chew you up
If you let it get to you
Make your own mind up
Believe in your own view
