lyrics

Nerves

Six on the dot
Punching the clock
Mean routine
Shampoo, caffeine

Reclaim your chains
Backbone review
No one can hold you hostage
Except you

Slow elevator, makin’ you later
It doesn’t matter, you know how to spiel
Stomach is churning, need to be earning
More bacon and bread to pay for your steel

Don’t let him deny you, or turn a blind eye to
He once was in your shoes, payin his own dues
Intrepidation and determination
A bigger paycheck and the man’s respect

CHORUS

Nerves of steel and nerves of ice
Nerves that lock down when you’re in a vice
Nothing can shake you, no one can break you
The people fall down ‘cause they know that you’re made of…

Nerves of steel and nerves of ice
Nerves that lock down when you’re in a vice
Nothing can shake you, no one can break you
The people fall down ‘cause they know you got nerves

Straighten your tie
Give her the eye
Stake your claim
For your hall of fame

You’ve done it before
At the convenient store
Still carry the scar
Got shot down SO far

This isn’t the same as that harsh de-fame
Robbing you blind of your confidence game
Patiently waiting, stare at the ceiling, she is
Stuck in your head as you lay on the box spring

This is the one, the light of the sun
She cannot deny you, a man with a gun
She will come around, when you tie her down
You finally found a queen for your crown

CHORUS
