Hang On Lyrics
Things are getting weird, things are getting tough
Nothing's making sense but you keep on looking up
They tell you to be true, you're trying every day
You keep it on the real, still you gotta find a way
To make your mama happy, to make your papa proud
You gotta turn it up but all you hear is turn it down
So gather round I'm here to say
You'll never make everybody's day
But while you're around you might as well
Catch the tiger by his tail
And hang on hang on hang on
Everybody just
Get on get on get on get started
Just go on go on go on
Everybody just hang on
Sometimes I wanna cry and throw the towel in
They try to beat me down but I'll take it on the chin
And everywhere I go the people are the same
They just wanna know that everything will be OK
Things are getting rough, turn it back around
You gotta turn it up when they tell you tone it down
Nothing's making sense but you keep on looking up
They tell you to be true, you're trying every day
You keep it on the real, still you gotta find a way
To make your mama happy, to make your papa proud
You gotta turn it up but all you hear is turn it down
You'll never make everybody's day
But while you're around you might as well
Catch the tiger by his tail
Everybody just
Get on get on get on get started
Just go on go on go on
Everybody just hang on
They try to beat me down but I'll take it on the chin
And everywhere I go the people are the same
They just wanna know that everything will be OK
Things are getting rough, turn it back around
You gotta turn it up when they tell you tone it down

"So gather round I'm here to say You'll never make everybody's day" -I got into a fight with a friend at work one time, then I heard this song, and I calmed down
"Sometimes I wanna cry and throw the towel in They try to beat me down but I'll take it on the chin" -No matter what happens to you, stay strong, sometimes it may seem like the whole world is against you, but you have to persevere.
This is now offically my theme song...

To me, this song means that you should stop trying to be the perfect person everyone wants to be and just be yourself. "You'll never make everybody's day." and that's fine, because it's impossible to please everyone. :)
This song means for me to be yourself. This is one of my favorite Smash Mouth songs.
