I could clear my head I could clean my plate I could make my bed I could stand up straight But I know I won't Not for fame or wealth Can't risk making something of myself I could clear my throat I could cut my hair I could iron my clothes I could choose to care But I know I won't Not for pride or greed Can't risk taking any more than I need I could read the rules I could get on track I could find the tools I could cut the act I could hang myself I could float away I could live right now Like it's the very last day But I know I won't While I'm in good health Can't risk making something of myself
