Okkervil River - How It Is Lyrics

You can't let yourself be selfish
You can't let yourself be sold
You gotta let your brother in from out the cold
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

You can't let your heart get tired
You can't let your head get told
You gotta let the outcast back into the fold
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

You know that's how it is now
You know that's how it is now

You gotta do the Hully Gully now
You gotta do the Mashed Potato
You gotta hit the hissing floor and lose control
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

You can't think you know the answers
Oh, just because you've grown
You've got to take your sister's problem as your own
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

You know that's how it is now
You know you know I'm right now
That's how it is
