I take time thinking about the moves I'm gonna have to make 

I take time thinking about the rules I'm gonna have to break 

it's always push and shoving 

sometimes it comes to nothing 

sometimes it's more than a mere mortal man can take 



I'm up for it 

I'm up for it 

I'm up for it 

I'm up for it 



the day to day can become such a trip 

the mediocre can make you lose your grip 

it's all on you and what you've got 

you can play it cool or make it hot 

I pay the price and take my shot 



stay up for it 

I'm up for it 

I'm up for it 

I'm up for it 



burning out, wearing thin 

can't believe the shape you're in 

there's always somebody who's gonna try to make it worse 

there's always a line to stand in 

as long as I'm still standing 

you best believe I'm gonna make other plans 



stay up for it 

stay up for it 

stay up for it 

up for it, up for it 

I am up for it man 



time, time, stop wasting mine, mine 

don't stand their crying, crying 

just make up your mind 

time, time, stop wasting mine, mine 

don't stand their crying, crying 

just make up your mind 



stay up for it 

stay up for it 

stay up for it 

stay up for it man 



I take time thinking about what I'm gonna have to do 

what it takes, how it is and when I'm gonna light the fuse 

all this push and shoving in the end all amounts to nothing 

I'll never get a second chance looking me in the face 



I'm up for it 

I'm up for it 

I stay up for it 

I stay up for it 



the day to day can become such a grind 

the mediocre can make you lose your mind 

it's all on you and what you've got 

you can play it cool or make it hot 

I pay the price and take my shot 



stay up for it 

I'm up for it 

I'm up for it 

I'm up for it 



? or now in future shock 

by the numbers ? ? stop 

there's always somebodys who's gonna try to take your brain 

as long as they're selling something 

I'll be smelling something 

I've seen them come and go so many times 



I'm up for it 

I stay up for it 

I stay up for it 

I stay up for it 

now what else are you gonna do?
