Houston - 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
