JOE, DON'T LET IT PUSH YOU
(Music:  "Push", Matchbox 20)

He said "I don't know if I've ever been good enough
I'm a little mistrustful, and I think my head is caving in
And every time I think I've found a girl to really love
The bitch ends up dying
Hell, I feel like something's got to give
'Cause I'm a little bit angry"

Well, this ain't over, Condor Joe, not while we still need you around
You don't know, hey, things could change
Someday you'll end up smiling

Don't let them push you around, 'cause they will, 'cause they will
Don't let them break you down, or they will, or they will
Sometimes you're taken for granted, others might take you for granted
I never will

He said "I don't know why anyone cares for me
'Cause I'm little unstable and I think that sometimes I'm just a bastard
And I don't know why the others put up with me
How can they stand to be near me
When my face don't seem to want to smile
'Cause life's a little bit ugly"

Well, I won't let you get down on yourself
You've been cheated you've been wronged
And yeah, I know your dad was Gallactor
But it don't mean anything at all

Don't let them push you around, 'cause they will, 'cause they will
Don't let them break you down, or they will, or they will
Sometimes you're taken for granted, others might take you for granted
I never will
