You can call it anything you want the fact remains the same I never got to be your Fred Astaire You can lie to yourself and all your friends and pretend that you don't care But circumstance gets in the way You have so many opportunities I never had Don't push so hard, nothing is ever easy And this talent that you take for granted, it's a gift from god Don't pass it up, nothing is ever easy Are you ready to work real hard Are you tired it's just the start Listen to me son, I'll take you far You can call it anything you want the fact remains the same I never got to be your Fred Astaire You can lie to yourself and all your friends and pretend that you don't care But circumstance gets in the way Heel, toe, heel, toe, side to side AGAIN, gonna get it right Don't push so hard, nothing is ever easy Don't forget your please and thank you's, don't forget to smile Don't pass this up, nothing is ever easy Their pushing these children for all the wrong reasons So far man you're crushing down their spirits Suffocate, emancipate, turn their backs and walk away eventually Seeking, one of these paths You're wasting time --- I call it living To the world what are you giving You're wasting time…
