Makin' It
Natural Child Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well i saw my pa the other day he didn't have much to say
He had nothing to say
But it feels so tired sips his wine
He said i worked too hard today
Too hard today
He said don't let life beat you down
Take your money and throw it around
Find some pretty girls who can Show ya a real good time.
Life moves way too fast
And the good things they dont last
So cut your bullshit son and let's get High

Time wears lines in your face

They never go away
Never go away
So I just try to have my fun
Gonna get it while I'm young.
While I'm still young

Gotta get your spirit free
And live like a refugee
Take some fucked up drugs
And feel the hand of God
Lose control yourself




Spend some time in jail
A man makes his own way that's all he's got
