LJ Idol LPF Week 1

Topic: "It's hard to beat a person who never gives up."

 

"giveup" (Watch on YouTube)

 

Hey it’s not a game

You can give up

There’s no shame

Hey it’s not a game

You can give up

There’s no shame

Always someone to beat

Let’s laugh at the loser in utter defeat

Always something to prove

Why do anything without someone who approves?

Hey it’s not a quest

You can let go of your unrest

You don’t need a goal

To prove to yourself that you’re whole

Hey it's not a game
You can give up
There's no shame

Hey it's not a game
You can give up
There's no shame

Trapped by the Capital C

So apt to adapt to the clash for currency

Unhappy Capitalist friends

No mirth! Where’s your worth if you can’t pay the dividends?

Hey it’s not a fight

You don’t always have to be right

Hey it’s not a brawl

Don’t have to compete to stand tall

Imagine America

Where it’s allowed

To lose, to refuse

The regard of the crowd

Where rom coms of Hollywood

Don’t teach our men

After eighty NOs

Eighty-one could be consent

Where imaginary

weapons of destruction

Were not an excuse

For a bloody production

Of vile hostile takeover

Civilian massacre

Presidents’ makeovers

As peace ambassadors

(Peace can be Image

But Peace can’t be Winning

And Winning’s America

From the beginning)

Where Peace is not Image

Not gain, not illusion

Not 330 million in delusion

Where people can realize

When we’re at War

Where people can realize

When we’re at War

Where people talk about War

When we’re at War

Where people talk about War

When we’re at War

Imagine America

Without a War

Can you

give up?

Hey it’s not a game

You can give up

There’s no shame

Hey it’s not a game

You can give up

There’s no shame
