Sometimes life will hit you like a brick to the head
Knock you down and cover you up with a ton of lead
You can't see it coming and you got nownere to turn
One big inferno, stand up and watch it burn
In every life, some rain must fall
It feels like I'm gonna drown
Left in the ocean with nothing at all
Learn to swim, buckle down
(Man up) Life is hard
(Man up) Can't beat the dealer, just play your cards
(Man up) You got to stay the course
(Man up) Only one way back on the horse
Man up!
There's a whole new story in the blink of an eye
You wake up, everything's changed and you don't know why
It doesn't matter how you try, some things you can't control
It'll rip your heart out, destroy your very soul
In every life, the darkness comes
It feels like I'm going blind
You take the pain and follow the drums
You don't dare get left behind
(Man up) Life is hard
(Man up) Bite the bullet and wear the scars
(Man up) You got to follow the spark
(Man up) There's oniy one way out of the dark
(Man up) Life is hard
(Man up) Can't beat the dealer, just play your cards
(Man up) You got to bear the load
(Man up) Walk tall to the end of the road
Man up!
Into each life, the pain will come
It'll beat you all about
Ready or not, you're under the gun
Tow the line, tough it out
(Man up) Me is hard
(Man up) Bite the bullet and wear the scars
(Man up) You got to follow the spark
(Man up) There's only one way out of the dark
(Man up) Life is hard
(Man up) Can't beat the dealer, just play your cards
