From the recording Stars
Lyrics
Unruly scholar, push your books aside
And stop wielding your foolish pride
Open your wise eyes and kill the sleeping dream
Your life will never be like anything you read
CHORUS:
Ur hands are steady
It’s ur heart that shakes
Beating heavy
Until it breaks
I know you’re ready
Go make some mistakes
Ur hands are steady
It’s ur heart that shakes
Kerouac, Poe, and Salinger have a place in history
Experience was their canvas, life was no mystery
Get up out of your armchair, go have yourself a drink
Fight at the bar, earn a new scar, life’s grittier than you think
CHORUS
You say people are simple, but one thing is clear
They go out and do things while you sit in fear
Life will knock you down, challenge all that you believe
But real cowboys stand up and dust the dirt off their knees
CHORUS x2
