Give Up!

[Verse 1]
When they're younger, many parents
Tell their kids that they can be
The president or an astronaut
Or an actor on TV

But no one ever tells a child
What they cannot be
So it seems that the responsibility
Has come to be

[Chorus]
Life is just a compromise
It's better for your health
You might achieve a smaller dream
So look inside yourself

Why do you want the big career
And all that fancy stuff
Give up, give up, give up, give up, give up!

[Verse 2]
The moment you stop working out
The fat will start to creep
You can nеver smoke a cigarettе
And still die in your sleep

So you don't have to make the bed
You're getting back into
'Cause life tends towards chaos
And there's nothing you can do

[Chorus]
And life is just a compromise
So you don't have to frown
And rom-coms are a bunch of lies
So bring your standards down

Sure, he's a comedian
But being single sucks
Give up, give up, give up, give up, give up!

[Bridge]
Think of what's awaiting you
A couple years down the line
A bunch of emptiness
And the success you didn't find

Think of how much happier
You would be at that time
If you'd never ever failed because
You didn't even try

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
And life is just a compromise
But we don't wanna see
We write ourselves the movie script
Of how our life should be

You're reaching out for happiness
When what's inside's enough
Give up, give up, give up, give up, give up!
