Lyrics for Bamboo Bones
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 What god doesn't give to you You've got to go and get for yourself 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 gonna 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 What god doesn't give to you You've got to go and get for yourself What god doesn't give to you You've got to go and get for yourself For yourself What god doesn't give to you (What god doesn't give to you) What god doesn't give to you (What god doesn't give to you) What god doesn't give to you You've got to go and get for yourself For yourself
