On Our Own so many bands i see piss me off
because of who they know they start out at the top
they've had everything handed to them right from the start
its hard to tell if their music comes from the heart
i always thought that from hard work success was earned
there's so many things you have that i feel you don't deserve
so tell me what are you in this for? you say its for
the music but i feel its something more

to get a helping hand i understand
but answer this one question for me..
where's your hard work?
to get a helping hand i understand
but answer this one question for me...
what have you earned?

we'll take a different path and do it by ourselves
we won't run to our friends and rely on the help
together we'll do our own fucking work
and eventually we'll get what we deserve
whether or not we make it to far
at least we can say we tried fucking hard
we can look back and see that we've had so much fun
and on our own we got so much done

you earned your way through who you know
you and your ethics gotta go (2x)
you earned your way through kissing ass
so we'll earn ours on a different path (2x)

we'll make it on our own! on..our..own!(4x)
