Lyrics
V1
When things are tough, or some may say defective
And you are stuck, no matter what you're doing
To look at it from a different perspective
May help you get up from the hopeless ruin
PRECH
Your life becomes your daily hammer
That pounds and pounds you into destruction
You change your view and grow a skin of armor
Now you're the nail that holds the whole construction
CH
Think failure's chasing you?
But that's not true
It's you who follows it
For a long while
Cheer up! Cheer up! Put on your winner's boots
And walk a mile! Walk a mile! Walk a mile!
Hey!
Walk a mile! Hey-hey!
Walk a mile! Hey!
V2
When someone ugly stares from your mirror
Try looking at it from the reverse position
Just think that almost every caterpillar
Becomes a butterfly from that condition
PRECH
Your life becomes your daily hammer
That pounds and pounds you into destruction
You change your view and grow a skin of armor
Now you're the nail that holds the whole construction
CH
Think failure's chasing you?
But that's not true
It's you who follows it
For a long while
Cheer up! Cheer up! Put on your winner's boots
And walk a mile! Walk a mile! Walk a mile!
Hey!
Walk a mile! Hey-hey!
Walk a mile! Hey!
BR
But if you find this song too condescending
Still play along and maybe, by pretending
You'll keep your view unbiased and objective
And change your life, along with your perspective
PRECH
Your life becomes your daily hammer
That pounds and pounds you into destruction
You change your view and grow a skin of armor
Now you're the nail that holds the whole construction
CH
Think failure's chasing you?
But that's not true
It's you who follows it
For a long while
Cheer up! Cheer up! Put on your winner's boots
And walk a mile! Walk a mile! Walk a mile!
Hey!
Walk a mile! Hey-hey!
Walk a mile!
