Courage by The Tragically Hip:
Watch the band through a bunch of dancers
Quickly, follow the unknown with something more familiar
Quickly, something familiar
Courage, my word, it didnB次元官网网址檛 come, it doesnB次元官网网址檛 matter
Sleepwalk, so fast asleep in a motel
That has the lay of home and piss on all of your background
And piss on all your surroundings
Courage, my word, it didnB次元官网网址檛 come, it doesnB次元官网网址檛 matter
Courage, your word, it didnB次元官网网址檛 come, it doesnB次元官网网址檛 matter
Courage, my word, it didnB次元官网网址檛 come, it doesnB次元官网网址檛 matter
Courage, it couldnB次元官网网址檛 come at a worse time
ThereB次元官网网址檚 no simple explanation
For anything important any of us do
And yeah, the human tragedy
Consists in the necessity
Of living with the consequences
Under pressure, under pressure
Courage, my word, it didnB次元官网网址檛 come, it doesnB次元官网网址檛 matter,
Courage, your word, it didnB次元官网网址檛 come, it doesnB次元官网网址檛 matter
Courage, my word, it didnB次元官网网址檛 come, it doesnB次元官网网址檛 matter
Courage, it couldnB次元官网网址檛 come at a worse time
It couldnB次元官网网址檛 come at a worse time
It couldnB次元官网网址檛 come at a worse time
Courage
