[Verse 1]
Another rude awakening
The hard life that's been our school
Oh, more of a cruel day's reckonings
Our prime time used up too soon
[Chorus]
There is no kindness to waste
Why help those crying for more?
It spins you around, takes you for a ride
What is the point to even try?
Somehow gotta learn to accept the rejection
[Verse 2]
The tired thoughts from troubling
A weary mind from worrying
Your constant fears upon wakening
Your real life left in your dreams
[Chorus]
There is no kindness to waste
Why help those crying for more?
It spins you around, takes you for a ride
What is the point to even try?
Somehow gotta learn to accept the rejection, oh yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Accept the rejection
Accept the rejection
Yeah
[Bridge]
Another
Another
[Verse 3]
Another rude awakening
The hard life that's been our school
More of a cruel day's reckonings
Our prime time used up too soon
[Chorus]
There is no kindness to waste
Why help those crying for more?
It spins you around, takes you for a ride
What's the point to even try?
Somehow, some way, gotta learn to accept the rejection, oh yeah
[Outro]
Accept the rejection
