Can't Get Bitter

When I was just a lazy boy
my father looked me in the eye said
son some people gonna try to steal your dreams

Well I grew up the town was rough
it made me strong, it made me tough
i kept those simple words you gave to me

Oh no no no, we can't get bitter
Oh no don't let them make you mean
Oh no no no we can't get bitter
Don't let them steal your dreams
Don't let them steal your dreams
You can't get bitter

It's so easy to be cynical
You just turn on your tv screen
And everyone tells you who you should be
When I feel stupid, disenchanted
Those pretty flowers that you planted
The pollen comes afloating down the breeze

Oh no no no, we can't get bitter
Oh no don't let them make you mean
Oh no no no we can't get bitter
Don't let them steal your dreams
Don't let them steal your dreams
You can't get bitter
Don't let them make you mean
Don't let them make you mean
Oh no no no, we can't get bitter
Oh no don't let them make you mean
Oh no no no we can't get bitter
Don't let them steal your dreams
Don't let them steal your dreams
