If You Can'T Beat Em'-Join Em'

Founder upon ideals, resist the inevitable Drink to cheer, not to drown Along comes resistance to show me the way Break me down and hand me the mirror One may disagree with a foundation built on history But to rebuild, you must carefully renovate...piece by piece If Rome was not built in a day, how can one demolish it without care? Masterpieces take time, if they are respectfully in view Change is the hardest thing, if one is built of stone To overcome the trauma, they must be weakened, but secure Drugs consume my breath, rendering me without care Offenses are high and sharp is the tongue With no device to save me, I rely on pure faith to do so Tearing at my emotions, I quiver without rehabilitation Addicted to security, I venture out on my own Wild at heart, with many trying to tame I am therefore, intoxicated, never to domesticate The pressure builds almost daily, the need for it still exists But temperaments can not be subdued, just out of pure spite I listen to the rhythm carefully, to elude what's always been wronged.
