Can you take it?
Can you take it all in
Does it not look right
Does it not fit in?
That’s where I find myself today
Afraid of what I’ll throw away

Don’t drink a beer
Don’t stay in bed
You’ve got to help yourself
You’ve got to help yourself
Your filling time
Is running out
You’ve got to help yourself
You’ve got to help yourself

Can you take it?
Can you take it away
Does it not feel right
Is it not ok?
I guess the plan I had was right
I won’t be coming home tonight

Don’t drink a beer
Don’t stay in bed
You’ve got to help yourself
You’ve got to help yourself
Your filling time
Is running out
You’ve got to help yourself
You’ve got to help yourself

Because of what’s projected
Down across the years
I feel as expected
But it’s not too late
It’s not as bad as that

Don’t stay in bed
You’ve got to help yourself
You’ve got to help yourself
Your filling time
Is running out
You’ve got to help yourself
You’ve got to help yourself
