Lyrics

I refuse to let the demons of the world get the best of me

Cuz life’s too short to live in misery

There’s a whole lot of issues going on

But the same issues gonna keep us against the wall

What did the people of the flower generation have to say?

It’s a thin line between love and hate



Let me hip you to a brand new revelation

Be the bigger man, well well well be the bigger man



We’ve been conditioned to act, think, and talk a certain way

But reality we just can’t seem to face

There’s a whole new generation falling down

If this keeps up the world won’t be around

And you wonder why it’s so hard to get along

Well it’s too much player-hating going on



Let me hip you to a brand new revelation

Be the bigger man, well well well be the bigger man



Let me hip you to a brand new revelation

Be the bigger man



We’ve been conditioned to act, think and talk a certain way

But reality we just can’t seem to face

There’s a whole new generation falling down

If this keeps up the world won’t be around

And you wonder why it’s so hard to get along

Well it’s too much player-hating going on



Let me hip you to a brand new revelation

Let me hip you to a brand new revelation

Let me hip you to a brand new revelation

Be the bigger man
