Kick It





I was born 

With a stubbornness inside,

if you close that door, 

I’m gonna kick it open,

Kick it open wide, Yeah-Yeah, Yeah-Yeah…



Back in first grade, old Mrs. Nielson

Pulled me close, said, “How does it feel son

To be taking up space and time,

‘Cause you’re wasting yours and you’re wasting mine.”



So I learned what I should not do,

What I could not do,

What I would not do;

And I learned that, whatever they said,

I’d rather be dead than keep it in my head.



They said, “Here is the line.”

I was already somewhere else doing something else,

And calling it mine.

They said, “You need a ticket.”

I said, “Then stand aside—it’ll open wide

‘Cause I’m gonna kick it.”



Yeah-Yeah…



Too many people these days

Walking around in a pitiful haze.

Everybody’s full of doubt, they can’t get out--

Too afraid to shout.



You never know what the boundaries are

‘til you see how far you can push that bar.

You’ll find yourself defined by the corporate mind

and the bottom line.



They say, “Stay in your place.”

I say, “I’m movin’ on; I’ll see you there

At the end of this race.”

They say, “You don’t get to pick it.”

I say, “Then set ‘er up straight and make it look great,

Cause I’m gonna kick it.”



I was born 

With a stubbornness inside,

if you close that door, 

I’m gonna kick it open,

Kick it open wide, Yeah-Yeah, Yeah-Yeah…



I’m gonna kick it, I’m gonna kick it…



I was born…

But not yesterday.
