Everyman Lyrics by Double Exposure

Ten Percent

0

[Verse 1]
It's on you, pick and choose where you want to go in life
No one said that the road would be paved all smooth and nice
If you wanna be a lawyer or just lay around all day
Don't be jealous of the fellas who want to go all the way

[Pre-Chorus]
After all, you're only sellin' nobody but yourself
In the end, you have to answer to yourself and no one else

[Chorus]
Singin' every man has to carry his own weight
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Every man has to carry his own weight
Oh yeah, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Every man has a cross only he has to bear
If he's lost, that's the cost for not plannin' way ahead
We were all born with the tools, so let's put them all to use
One day we may all have problems, but complainin' just won't solve them

[Pre-Chorus]
One day, we could be on top, and the next day you could drop
So no matter what you do, all the weight is left on you

[Chorus]
Singin' every man has to carry his own weight
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Singin' every man has to carry his own weight
Oh yeah, oh yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Ohh, after all, you're only sellin' nobody but yourself
In the end, you have to answer to yourself and no one else

[Chorus]
Singin' every man has to carry his own weight
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Singin' every man has to carry his own weight
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Every man has to carry his own weight
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Every man has to carry his own weight
Oh yeah, oh yeah

[Break]
Friend of mine
He said he had to bear his own weight, y'all
Now my brother, my brother, my brother
My brother was down and out
He said, "Can you help me?
Can you take, can you, can you take, take
Take the load?"
I said, "Nah, every man got to make his own stand, yes, he does"

[Instrumental Outro]
