[Verse 1: Tommy Shaw]
You see the world through your cynical eyes
You're a troubled young man I can tell
You got it all in the palm of your hand
But your hand's wet with sweat, and your head needs a rest
[Chorus]
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
[Verse 2: Tommy Shaw]
Why must you be such an angry young man
When your future looks quite bright to me
And how can there be such a sinister plan
That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man
[Chorus]
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, (Get up! Get back on your feet)
(You're the one they can't beat, and you know it)
Yeah, come on, (Come on! Let's see what you've got)
(Just take your best shot and don't blow it)
(Whoa whoa whoa whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh)
[Keyboard Solo]
[Outro]
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, (Get up! Get back on your feet)
(You're the one they can't beat, and you know it)
Oh, come on, (Come on! Let's see what you've got)
(Just take your best shot and don't blow it)
(Whoa whoa whoa whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh)
