"Courage" lyrics

"Courage"

I've been beating my head against the rubber wall
I've been jumping on a ladder, tryin' to make it fall
Been diving off the cliff from the highest rock
Living underground
No second thoughts

Riding the changes
And the world rearranges fast
This is sink or swim
Sure as hell, know what state I'm in
Riding the changes
And my life rearranges fast
Always the same surrender
Always left with the tender heart

Relentless drum beat
Getting a rest through the night
The streets are all empty
People are running
Shouting people is coming
Enough, he know me through the law
Ooh, get the bull by the horn

Listen to the rumble from beneath the ground
I'm trying to get to sleep but there's that angry sound
All the stomping and the kicking, don't know what I'm gonna do
Have them made to maybe face the popping out
Popping out, popping out, popping out, ooh

Riding and changes
And the world rearranges fast
This is sink or swim
Sure as hell, know what state I'm in
Riding the changes
And my life rearranges fast
Always the same surrender
Always left with the tender heart

This is making me nervous
I've got to admit it
Its out in the open
I stand so committed
But there ain't no escaping it
Here it comes, this is it
This is it
This is it
This is it
Is it
Is it
Popping out, popping out, popping out, ooh
