What if you could live your life

Like you're the only one around

Would you do it just to see if you could

Or would it scare you too much

Not to see your friends hail, hail the gangs not here at all



Self reliable, that makes you responsible

For all the lies that you told

And you're telling them to yourself



What if you could live your life a minute at a time

Make the most of everything you do

Or would it scare you too much to enjoy the life you lead

Always complain about the things that you don't need



Self reliable, that makes you responsible

For all the lies that you told

And you're telling them to yourself

Self reliable, it may be a lot of work

But in the end it's the job that pays you well

Job that pays you well



Introspection, self doubt

Just trying to understand what you're all about

Will it end with contradiction

Would you feel the urge to scream

And wake up from this dream you don't know why



Self reliable, that makes you responsible

For all the lies that you told

And you're telling them to yourself

Self reliable, it may be a lot of work

But in the end it's the job that pays you well



Self reliable, that makes you responsible

For all the lies that you told

And you're telling them to yourself

Self reliable, it may be a lot of work

But in the end it's the job that pays you well



Self reliable the job that pays you well

Self reliable the job that pays you well

Self reliable
