U2 — Get Out of Your Own Way U2 at the BBC

[Intro] They're like letters, a lot of these songs And um, this next one I thought was to our daughters But like everything, you preach what you need to hear Isn't that right, The Edge You can preach, but you need to hear Alright [Chorus] Get out of your own way, hey, hey Get out of your own way, hey, hey [Verse 1] Love hurts Now you're the girl who's left with no words Your heart's a balloon, but then it bursts It doesn't take a cannon, just a pin Your skin's not covering And resistance Love has got to fight for its existence The enemy has armies of assistance The amorous, the glamorous, the kiss A fist, listen to this, oh [Chorus] Get out of your own way Get out of your own way [Post-Chorus] I could sing it to you all night, all night If I could, I'd make it alright, alright Nothing's stopping you except what's inside I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight [Verse 2] Fight back Don't take it lyin' down, you got to bite back The face of liberty's starting to crack She had a plan and then she took a smack in the mouth And it all went south Like freedom The slaves are lookin' for someone to lead 'em Master's lookin' for someone to need him The promised land is there for those who need it most And Lincoln's ghost said... [Chorus] Get out of your own way Get out of your own way [Post-Chorus] I could sing it to you all night, all night If I could, I'd make it alright, alright Nothing's stopping you except what's inside I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight [Chorus] Get out of your own way Get out of your own way [Short Instrumental] [Chorus] Get out of your own way Get out of your own way Get out of your own way [Outro] Blessed are the arrogant For there is the kingdom of their own company Blessed are the bullies For one day they will have to stand up to themselves Blessed are the liars For the truth can be awkward
