What Your Old Lady Said

[Man: Are we remembering? Alright, here we go. Quiet on the set]

Well, it's time to remember what your old lady said
She said there ain't no injustice
It's all in your head
So let the woman be the woman
Let the man be the man
You have committed to your sorrow
Now stick to your plan

You like to play with the fire and deny what you know
But if you bury your secrets, son
Then reap what you sew
And don't go droppin' no more money
Down the devil's wishing well
You can kill off that candle
Send the fire back to hell

'Cause it's a slow way of sinking
A settlement of dust
There are ships under the ocean
Where the golds gone to rust
And if you hold your time so tightly
It goes perfectly still
Turn it loose and then what's meant to be
Surely will

Yeah, it's time to remember what your old lady said
She said there ain't no injustice
It's all in your head
So let the woman be the woman
Let the man be the man
You have committed to your sorrow
Now stick to your plan

Even God's got an opposite
Beware what you serve
You only get what you give
So give what you deserve
And if the truth merely haunts you
To know, but not to know
You've got to trust that feeling
Let that faith have room to grow

And son I know what waits for you
Behind death's door
There ain't no better than your best
There is no reward
So don't go starin' into the forest
And claim there ain't no trees
You've got your eyes wide open
You ain't willing to see

Yeah, it's time to remember what your old lady said
She said there ain't no injustice
It's all in your head
So let the woman be the woman
Let the man be the man
You have committed to your sorrow
Now stick to your plan
