"LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE"
© 2014 Oliver John-Rodgers (OJR)
Sittin’ at a café
In the middle of the Marais
On a perfect, sunny Monday
I’m easin’ my mind
WIth a girl named Jeanne
Aw boy, she hang so fine
Everybody tells me I’m crazy
For doing what I do
But I think you’re lazy
For lettin’ life
Go and happen to you
Take on the reins
Follow your soul
You write the story, man
You’re in control
Change your own name
Drop out of school
Travel the world
Break all the rules
No one can do it for you
Only you can do you
No one can do it for you
Only you can do you
I swear it’s the truth
You gotta…
Live your own life
Sittin’ on a rock
In the middle of Parc des Buttes-Chaumont
I’m easin’ my mind
With a pack of French cigs
And a bottle of cheap white wine
Everybody tells me I’m so crazy
To blaze my own trail
But I think you’re lazy
For not taking chances
Are you afraid you’re gonna fail?
Take on the reins
Follow your soul
You write the story, man
You’re in control
Change your own name
Drop out of school
Travel the world
You're nobody's fool
No one can do it for you
Only you can do you
No one can do it for you
Only you can do you
I swear it’s the truth
You gotta…
Live your own life
You don’t have to notice
When they come around
The negative souls
Who exist to put you down
Just learn to let go
Of their hateful sounds
Keep your feet firmly planted
In the ground
And it’s gonna be all right
