We're About 9 - Live With This

if you ever gamble
if you ever lied
if you ever hurt someone else
for the sake of your own pride
if you have chemicals
firing all over your head
telling you not to do
what all the other chemicals said
you are living then
you are living then
you are living this
human experience
if you wanna be a lawyer
but you don't wanna study the law
if you like jogging
but the trip to the track is too much of a haul
if you like eating big
but you diet when your friends visit
if the nerd is still the odd man out
then it's cool to be a hypocrite
you are living then
you are living then
you are living this
human experience
if you like your family
but you never learned to treat them right
then you might not just be selfish
you might also be enlightened
cause it'd the one thing that
defines our rise and fall
to be so self conflicted is
the answer to our calling
you are living then
you are living then
you are living this
human experience
if you ever let someone down
with something that you didn't
think through
and they let
you off the hook with them
but you can't get off
the hook with you
then you are guilty now there's no turning back
just because we're human
doesn't mean we've earned any slack
we're designed to defy
ourselves but we're designed to resist
we learn from our mistakes
and we'll learn how to live with this
you are living then
you are living then
you are living this
human experience
