Purpose Filled Life Lyrics by Bear Hands

You’ll Pay for This

2016

[Verse 1]
Not gonna let my mother down
Not gonna let my brother down
I'm gonna earn my place at the table
Not gonna let my sister down
Not gonna let my father down
I'm gonna make my peace where I'm able

[Hook]
Ooh, don't let me be no kind of burden
Ooh, just let me work and I will earn it
Ooh, I want my life to have a purpose
Ooh, tell me if you think I deserve it

[Verse 2]
Not 'til I got to solid ground
Not 'til I really bottomed out
Will I see myself in the mirror
Not 'til my body's broken down
Not 'til my soul is with the clouds
Will I finally be somewhere peaceful

[Hook x2]
Ooh, don't let me be no kind of burden
Ooh, just let me work and I will earn it
Ooh, I want my life to have a purpose
Ooh, tell me if you think I deserve it

[Instrumental Outro]
