get out of your own way lyrics – u2

love hurts
now you look out, who’s left with no words?
your heart’s a balloon, but then it bursts
it doesn’t take a cannon, just a pin
your skin’s not covering
and resistance
love has got to fight for its existence
the enemy has armies of assistance
the amorist, the glamorous, the kiss
a fist, listen to this, oh

get out of your own way, oh, i
get out of your own way, oh, i

i could sing it to you all night, all night
if i could, i’d make it alright, alright
nothing’s stopping you except what’s inside
i can help you, but it’s your fight, your fight

fight back
don’t take it lyin’ down, you got to bite back
the face of liberty’s starting to crack
she had a plan up until she got smacked in the mouth
and it all went south
like freedom
the slaves are lookin’ for someone to lead them
the master’s lookin’ for someone to need him
the promised land is there for those who need it most
and lincoln’s ghost said

get out of your own way, oh, i
get out of your own way, oh, i

i could sing it to you all night, all night
if i could, i’d make it alright, alright
nothing’s stopping you except what’s inside
i can help you, but it’s your fight, your fight

get out of your own way
get out of your own way

get out of your own way
get out of your own way
get out of your own way

blessed are the arrogant
for there is the kingdom of their own company
blessed are the superstars
for the magnificence in their light
we understand better our own insignificance
blessed are the filthy rich
for you can only truly own what you give away
like your pain…
