Self-pity (a devil’s city)
Self-pity only brings tears
Self-pity doesn’t remove the fears
Self-pity like an old fallen down city
No one to built it up
It’s a lonely party
Drinks of misery
And all that hurts me
Self-pity and it’s not pretty
Self-pity feels sorry for me
Self-pity and no one cares
(Cry baby cry!)
You have to get up and be strong
You have to get up and not belong
To the self-absorbing club
Take up thy cross
Deny thy self
Take everything on the chin
You know you can win
With God in your heart
No time for self-pity
The devil’s sorry city
Get up, get up
Take up thy mat and walk
Don’t ya feel better already?
Don’t ya feel really good right now?
You have to get up and be strong
You have to get up and not belong
To the self-absorbing club
Take up thy cross
Deny thy self
Take everything on the chin
You know you can win
With God in your heart
Self-pity and it’s not pretty
Self-pity feels sorry for me
Self-pity and no one cares
(Cry baby cry!)
Get up, get up, get up
Be strong
You can win
You can sing it out
What God has done for you
Be blessed, do ya best
But don’t do ya worst
