Bottle This

Dag Nasty

So tired of trying to keep up with someone else's pace



You got a new tattoo, but the same old face



Complacency is the enemy and I've been acting old



There's got to be more to life than doing what we're told



You can't bottle this - it always slips away



Shut out - of a dream we had not long ago



There's nothing to prove, nothing to show



We've been told all this before



So why am I still keeping score



Constraints are all around you every single day



When you're feeling overloaded you can't run away



And everywhere you go there's another wall in life



No matter where you look there's no end in sight



You can't bottle this - it always slips away



Shut out - of a dream we had not long ago



Nothing to prove, nothing to show



We've been told all this before



And I'm still keeping score



I understand you've got pressure's



But I can't accept your reaction



It's been a long road



Is it all a distraction?



Birth, school, work, death



These are things we all have to accept



And sometimes it feels like you're hitting a wall



I can't make sense of it all



Shut up!



It's another time and another place



Get a different view and a brand new take



It's a brand new day, it's a brand new day



Brand new day



It's a brand new day



Brand new day
