"The New You" lyrics

"The New You"

When the twin towers fell and it all went to hell
I knew you'd be leavin' me soon
It's what tore us apart, you perfected the art
Of making it all about you
But I can read your fortune
Just lay out your palm
Whatever you're avoiding will greet you at the dawn

Cause it's a new you every day
Puttin' on a different face
And the farther that you run from it
How will you overcome it?
It's a new you every day

And you struggle with sobriety
Dreams of notoriety
Listening to Kill 'Em All
Tend for high society, social anxiety
We missed you at the Head Banger's Ball

But I can read your fortune
Just lay out your palm
Whoever you're avoiding
They will all sing along

Cause it's a new you every day
Puttin' on a different face
And the farther that you run from it
How will you overcome it?
It's a new you every day!

Where you come from
Gets the best of you!

Because it's a new you every day
And when I loved you, I used to say
The farther that we run from it
How will we overcome it?
It's a new you every day
