Don't let them break you
Don't let them tell you who you are
Doesn't matter where you come from,
You'll always have a floor to sleep on
And you have your bamboo bones,
Nervous energy,
Blind ambition,
Skin of your teeth
Push back, push back, push back,
With every word and every breath

What god doesn't give to you,
You've got to go and get for yourself

I'm embarrassed to admit it,
I've got no grip
I'm leading with my jaw
Can you see it from a distance?
Does it look ridiculous?
I guess that's just what I have to live with
Still I have a mind to think,
Knees to break,
You standing beside me
I'm going to push back, push back, push back,
With every word and every breath

What god doesn't give to you,
You've got to go and get for yourself
