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
