The Grass Roots
You’ve Got to Bend with the Breeze
You've got a fire that's ragin' deep inside
And though you cool the flames, they're burnin'
High, high, high
Just let your emotions take you where you're bound
Don't let your pride cut you down

You've got to bend with the breeze or you'll break
It's a game of give and take
You've got to give in sometime or you'll lose your mind
And you'll come out in second place, where you started, yeah

You know I offer salvation for your needs
But you've been told that if you love you'll
Bleed, bleed, bleed
Now, I'm not one to argue 'bout what is false or true
But you can't have your cake and eat it, too

You've got to bend with the breeze or you'll break
It's a game of give and take
You've got to give in sometime or you'll lose your mind
And you'll come out in second place, where you started

Oh, you have got a fire that's ragin' deep inside
And though you cool the flames, they're burnin'
High, high, high
Just let your emotions take you where you're bound
Don't let your pride cut you down
You've got to bend with the breeze or you'll break
It's a game of give and take
You've got to give in sometime or you'll lose your mind
And you'll come out in second place

You've got to bend (You've got to bend) with the breeze
(You've got to bend) Or you'll break (You've got to bend)
It's a game of give and take (You've got to bend)
You've got to give (You've got to bend) in sometime
(You've got to bend) Or you'll lose your mind (You've got to bend)
And you'll come out in second place (You've got to bend)

You've got to bend (You've got to bend) with the breeze
(You've got to bend) Or you'll break (You've got to bend)
It's a game of give and take (You've got to bend)
You've got to give (You've got to bend) in sometime
(You've got to bend) Or you'll lose your mind (You've got to bend)
And you'll come out in second place (You've got to bend)
