Get Out of Your Own Way (Songs of Surrender) Lyrics

Get out of your own way
Ho-oh-oh, oh-oh
Get out of your own way

Get out of your own way
Ho-oh-oh, oh-oh
Get out of your own way

Love hurts, love is a full speed in this art world
Love is a balloon but then it bursts
All it takes to lose it is a crank, with a tank
We all walk the plank of liberty

A harbour in New York, she'll never torture me
Egality, she threw in some fraternity
An open hand, she closed it to a fist
And a kiss, who could resist her?

Get out of your own way
Ho-oh-oh, oh-oh
Get out of your own way

Whoa-oh-oh, I can sing it to you all night
If I could, I'd make it alright, alright
There's nothing's stopping you, go outside
I can help you, but it's your fight

Fight back, don't take it lying down, you've got to bite back
The face of liberty's starting to crack
She had a plan 'til she got a smack in the mouth
And it all went south, babe

Freedom, I'm a slave who's looking for someone to lead me
I'm a master, looking for someone to heed me
The promised land is there for those who need it most
And Lincoln's ghost said

Get out of your own way
Ho-oh-oh, oh-oh
Get out of your own way

I can sing it to you all night, all night
If I could, I'll make it alright, alright
Nothing's stopping you except what's inside
I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight

Get out of your own way
Ho-oh-oh, oh-oh (oh-oh)
Get out of your own way

Get out of your own way
Ho-oh-oh, oh-oh
Get out of your own way
