On Your Own Lyrics

I hate to break this news to you at this time

From now on you're on your own

There's no one here to teach you what we used to do

From now on, you're on your own…

Forget everything you're taught

Remember the things you knew

And hope that's enough to get you through

I would have watched your back

But I'm moving on

So you'll have to watch yours

When I'm gone…

The innocent can be guilty like the rest

But don't condemn them for the mess

This road before you will force you to choose

How to live, and how to lose…

Try not to slow them down

They'll cut you loose

This is how they thin the herd

If they don't have a use for you

You won't exist…

It is the boot you must resist

Don't care for the things you have

Only the things you make

You'll have more to give and less to take

There's so much left to do

So much left to see

But you won't know until you're free

Their silence can be deafening out there

Never more so than when they don't care

This road before you will force you to choose

How to win and how to lose
