As Life Goes On, You Get More And More Out Of It

1-2-3

I'm a walking worst-case scenario most of the time
I've always crashed and burned
Started out in total confusion
Which only got worse with every screw I turned

But as I've gotten older
There's one thing I have learned
As life goes on, you get more and more out of it
I'm more out of it that I ever used to be
And they say, "You get out of it what you put into it"
Out of it is everything to me

A lot depends on how you like yourself
What'll it be?
Well done, scrambled, or fried?
Which affectations seem the least affected
Will have the greatest effect to reveal the man inside

But don't advertise your affectations
It's just not dignified
As life goes on, you get more and more out of it
I'm more out of it in every single way
And they say, "You get out of it what you put into it"
I get more out of it each day
I get more out of it each day
