I Used to be Angry

Keith McDonald 2000

 

I used to be scared when I was a kid

I used to be scared at the things that I did

But now I know that we're just here for a short while

Time to get off it baby - get off in style


Who knows how long it may be

You just don't know 

Who knows how long it may be

You stop or you go


I used to get angry while still a young man

I used to get angry I'll tell ya' at the things I didn't understand

But now I know that we're just here for a short while

Time to get off it baby - get off a smile


Who knows how long it may be

You just can't tell

Who knows how long it may be

That's just as well


It's give and it's take

One lucky break 

Real vs. fake

Comes down to what you can make of it


I used to get worried about growing old

I used to get worried at the things I was told

But now I know that we're just here for a short while

It's time to get off it baby - get off it while


Who knows how long it may be

It's best not to judge

Who knows how long it may be

Don't hold a grudge


It's give and it's take

Real vs. fake

One lucky break

Comes down to what you can make of it
