[Verse 1]
Take a lot of salt
Promises on hold
And talk a lot and talk a lot and talk a lot
Do not listen
Will not give in
Right or not, no matter what, no matter what
Shoulders up and I toughen up
As I walk around, I walk around, I walk around
Huff and puff as I strut my stuff
You won't get me down, you won't get me down, I'll stand my ground

[Chorus]
Get me a bucket full of joy
I'll throw my joy up in a bucket
I'm not alone, yeah, there's many, many me's
Get me a bucket full of joy
I'll throw my joy up in that bucket
I'm not afraid to burn what I believe

[Post-Chorus]
It's you or me
It's you or me
Oh, it's you or me
It's you or me
[Verse 2]
Take a lot of salt
Stuff that face full or certainties or allergies from overseas
Promises on hold
Story will unfold eventually, no, honestly, take this from me
An ego cuts like a knife, we trust electricity over you and me, it's chemistry
All those papercuts, they sure do hurt a lot
Simplicity is what we need, yeah, definitely

[Chorus]
So get me a bucket full of joy
I'll throw my joy up in a bucket
I'm not alone and there's many, many me's
Get me a bucket full of joy
I'll throw my joy up in that bucket
I'm not afraid to burn what you believe

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause it's you or me
It's you or me
It's you or me
It's you or me, oh

[Verse 3]
Take a lot of salt
Put your promises on hold
And don't talk so much, don't talk so much, don't talk so much
Try to listen every now and then, just give in
But don't trust your gut, no matter what, you gotta trust my gut
[Chorus]
Get me a bucket full of joy
I'll throw my joy up in a bucket
'Cause no matter what, we'll die alone, you'll see
So get me a bucket full of joy
I wanna tell you all to fuck it
And in the end you know, you know it's gonna be

[Outro]
[Non-Lyrical Vocals]
Oh, it's you or me
