You can beat the world around,
What you need is just to be truthful to lies
And those liars who think you can’t do
You can’t make it better, make it real.
Say up what you feel
Move up, don’t be afraid to deal
And be what you want to be
Original and real.

It's true. In life you either stand up to the world or get trampled by it. Sounds sad but it's helplessly true.
