Acorn - For the Sake of My Pride lyrics

You always knew what you wanted In fact you always fawn it How you had your plans laid out back then But now you come to realize The truth and the advice About the best laid plans of mice and man No I just can't take it No I don't think I'll make it There's too much at stake and I can't abide No I just can't fake it Not for the sake of my pride Now as you get older There's more you've got to shoulder Everything comes down to the bottom line In the eyes the beholder Just like I've always told her Now you've got to ask where it is you sign No I just can't take it No I don't think I'll make it There's too much at stake and I can't abide No I just can't fake it Know that my heart is aching It would be a mistake for the sake of my pride For the sake of my pride For the sake of my pride Money always finds wealth But illness rarely finds health So crunch your numbers and pop your pills When your final day comes The balance and sums Won't count for much as your grave gets filled No I just can't take it No I don't think I'll make it There's too much at stake and I can't abide No I just can't fake it Know that my heart is aching It would be a mistake for the sake of my pride For the sake of my pride For the sake of my pride
