Retreat!
Authority Zero (USA) Lyrics

You retreat your sticky situation, don't choose to walk away
Don't give up on your problems, face them head-on.

If you do, these times will come for you
Ignoring your problems will only make them worse in the future.

You're giving up what you're thinking
You're giving up on your thoughts and opinions.

But now you're thinking you were right
You are reaffirming your beliefs and decisions.

Put up in a sticky situation without putting up a fight
You are stuck in a difficult situation but are not taking action to change it.

Now face to face reflections have got you thinking you were wrong
Reflecting on your actions has made you realize your mistakes.

Because if I cease now, I'm liable to regret it later
If you don't take action now, you may regret it in the future.

Assist how? Up in the air your continence wavers
You are unsure of how to proceed and lack confidence in your ability to solve the problem.

So what you gonna do?
What action will you take?

Run fast as you can?
Are you going to avoid the problem by running away?

You're thinking back
You are reflecting on your past decisions.

No, you never had a plan
You didn't have a clear plan or strategy to tackle the problem.

That's when you turn away
When faced with the problem, you are tempted to avoid it.

And you say you'll be back some other day
You promise to return and solve the problem at a later time.

And then you run and hide
You avoid the problem by running away or refusing to confront it.

Retreat!
Don't back down from the problem.

Rackin' them up there's no question that you've played this game before
You've faced similar problems in the past and need to apply the lessons you've learned.

This sticky situation that you're choosing to ignore
You are neglecting to deal with a difficult situation.

What once was, it still is, and may forever be
The problem will not go away on its own and needs to be addressed.

But if ever I don't face it man I'm never gonna see
If you don't confront the problem, you will never find a solution or resolution.

And what you do with your life is your own
You have control over your life and the problems you face.

Apart from different things that we're told
No one can tell you how to handle a problem, it's up to you to decide.

All the times you've chose to run and hide
Reflecting on past experiences where you avoided problems.

All those different things you were afraid would unwind
You were afraid of the consequences of taking action to solve the problem.

You're packing up, backing up, leaving it for another day
You are avoiding the problem and putting off dealing with it until later.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
An exclamation of encouragement and motivation to face the problem.

Your sticky situation
The difficult problem you are facing.

With out any hesitation
Don't hesitate to tackle the problem head-on.

Your sticky situation now
The problem is still present and needs to be addressed.

Yeah you run away right now!
An exclamation of disapproval for avoiding the problem.
