Bull In A China Shop Lyrics

I get by with what I got right here
Do what I can with what I got this year
Watching the time on the clock disappear
Fear is all I got left to fear
I got my enemies among these friends
You got means and baby I got plans
Give me the start and I can find these ends
Give me more time and I'll do it again, Again, Again

I wanna rock this block like a bull in a china shop
Give me more time and I'll do it again. Again, Again
I wanna rock this block like a bull in a china shop
Give me more time and I'll do it again. Again. Again

I want peace and all I got’s this war
I want wings and all I got’s this floor
I want a shot of what I’m aiming for
Coming in hot but they blocked this door
So bring me the music for the revolution
I’m singing for more than just a dead solution
So maybe good living is the best defense
So give me more time I can do it again. Again. Again

I wanna rock this block like a bull in a china shop
Give me more time and I'll do it again. Again, Again
I wanna rock this block like a bull in a china shop
Give me more time and I'll do it again. Again. Again

What are you waiting for
The future’s here
What are you waiting for
The future’s here
What are you waiting for
The future’s here

I wanna rock this block like a bull in a china shop
Give me more time and I'll do it again. Again, Again
I wanna rock this block like a bull in a china shop
Give me more time and I'll do it again. Again. Again

I wanna rock this block like a bull in a china shop
Give me more time and I'll do it again. Again, Again
I wanna rock this block like a bull in a china shop
Give me more time and I'll do it again. Again. Again

What are you waiting for
The future’s here
I get by with what I got right here
Fear is all I got left to fear

What are you waiting for
The future’s here
I get by with what I got right here
Fear is all I got left to fear

What are you waiting for
The future’s here
I get by with what I got right here
Fear is all I got left to fear

What are you waiting for
The future’s here
I get by with what I got right here
Fear is all I got left to fear

Cover art for Bull In A China Shop lyrics by Switchfoot

"When I was in high school, my friend down the street had 2 pairs of boxing gloves. During those summer nights all the neighborhood kids would take turns, fighting each other in the back yard. Things were simpler then: You win some, you lose some. Your get hit, you get back up. You keep your hands up, you move your feet. You bide your time and look for a window of opportunity to land a good shot.

Life isn't so simple now. Sometimes it feels like the fight never lets up. Like you don't know where to hit, or what's knocking you down. But these songs can be an incredible pair of gloves, so night after night I use music to fight back.

Against apathy.

Against depression.

Against bitterness, or hatred, or greed.

When it feels like all of my doors are blocked music becomes a way to find an opening-
