You Cant Walk the Walk

ok you started out in life thinking you could make a change
with hopes and dreams of fortune and fame
now you have hit rock bottom and all that remains
is the ups and downs the heart aches and pains


you were raised up believing in someones dirty joke
had you thinking life was so easy to cope
and that the hills that you were climbing didnt have any slopes
now here you are at the end of your rope


soooo


well now looks to me like someone lied 
had you thinking life was just a free ride 
and the grass was so much greener on the other side
so now you want to feel remorseful having to swallow your pride

you cant remain silence and still talk the talk
dont take it out on someone else knowing its all your fault
see everything isnt as easy as you were taught 
so if the shoe doesnt fit you cant walk the walk
