You tell yourself that you just can't take this
Enough with the madness
This has gotta stop now
Somehow

And every time that you think you're okay
You get in your own way
But soon enough you're knocked down
Surrounded by your own denial

Give it up for human nature
Give it up now bit by bit
Give it up for your frustration
Give it up 'cos kid
Your future lies here dying and
There's no use crying over it

People tell you to do what they say
They all want it their way
All that you can do is
Bite lip, or jump ship

So learn to smile at the ones that hate you
No matter what they do
They will never make it there
To where you know you will be going
Give it up for human nature
Give it up now bit by bit
Give it up for your frustration
Give it up 'cos kid
Your future lies here dying and
There's no use crying over it

[Bridge]
(You'll be the last one)
And you'll be the last one
(To know when you're done)
To know when you're all done
(That's just the way life)
But that's just the way life is now
You gotta take what you get
And give it up somehow

Give it up for human nature
Give it up now bit by bit
Give it up for your frustration
Give it up 'cos kid
Your future lies here dying and
There's no use crying over it

Give it up for your anger
Give it up for the tried and true
Give it up for everyone
Who's ever gone and given up on you
Give it up for human nature
Give it up now bit by bit
Give it up for your frustration
Give it up 'cos kid
Your future lies here dying and
There's no denying
If you're through complying then
There's no use crying over it
