Trim Yourself to Fit the World
View ArtistLyrics
[Verse 1] Each time the good Lord makes a man, he always breaks the mold So it sure does raise a flag for that rebel in my soul When some phony carbon copy says I'm the black sheep of the fold Well, this is what I tell' em when I tell 'em where to go [Chorus] If you trim yourself to fit the world, there won't be nothin' left Just a little here and a little there 'til you won't know yourself You'll be a pile of shavings when they put you in your grave If you trim yourself to fit the world, you'll whittle yourself away [Verse 2] I could change to fit his world, but I just ain't that kind Some sell their soul for the easy road, the devil's always buying I can't count the ones I've known who fell right into line Now they walk around with their heads hung down, they got no piece of mind [Chorus] If you trim yourself to fit the world, there won't be nothin' left Just a little here and a little there 'til you won't know yourself You'll be a pile of shavings when they put you in your grave If you trim yourself to fit the world, you'll whittle yourself away [Verse 3] So before you sign that dotted line or do something that you'd rather not Before you compromise your stand, friend, let me tell you what Don't let the crowd get so loud you can't hear your conscience speak 'Cause I'm willing to bet that you'll soon regret that you sold yourself so cheap [Chorus] If you trim yourself to fit the world, there won't be nothin' left Just a little here and a little there 'til you won't know yourself You'll be a pile of shavings when they put you in your grave If you trim yourself to fit the world, you'll whittle yourself away [Outro] If you trim yourself to fit the world, you'll whittle yourself away
