"Junk Life" lyrics

Brett Dennen & Matt Nathanson Lyrics

"Junk Life"

Well you know life isn't fair
And some people don't care
They'll steal the air from the sky
And sell it back with a smile

Some have it easy breezy
Never have been needy
Others sleep on the streets
Cardboard and newspaper sheets

And as long as you're here
I wanna to make some things clear
I wanna teach you early
The things I had to learn late

Everyone you meet was just a baby
Crying out for love and mother's milk
Everywhere there's somebody campaigning
For your will
For your will

Don't succumb to the junk life
Junk friends, junk food, junk love
Junk information
Don't succumb to the junk life
Hold yourself to the higher vibration
Hold yourself to the higher vibration

If you want my advice
You should just cut all those ties
Focus on yourself
Your blessings and your health

Because it's you I adore
It's not your polished floor
Not your shoes, not your clothes
Or the people you know

And it's people like you
Who make a difference, it's true
Who are too stubborn for doubt
They're on the road to find out

You got more soul than most people in your finger
This old world is full of cheap stuff that breaks
It doesn't mean that you are any better
Let's get that straight
Get that straight

Don't succumb to the junk life
Junk friends, junk food, junk love
Junk information
Don't succumb to the junk life
Hold yourself to the higher vibration
Hold yourself to the higher vibration

Don't succumb to the junk life
Junk friends, junk food, junk love
Junk information
Don't succumb to the junk life
Hold yourself to the higher vibration
Hold yourself to the higher vibration
Hold yourself to the higher vibration
