Lyrics

The laughing heart
Your life is your life
Don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission
Be on the watch
There are ways out
There is light somewhere
It may not be much light but it beats the darkness
But it beats the darkness
Be on the watch
The gods will offer you chances
Know them
Take them
You can’t beat death but you can beat death in life
Sometimes, and the more often you learn to do it
The more light there will be
Your life is your life
Know it while you have it
You are marvellous
The gods wait to delight in you
That's the beauty
There's so much knowledge out there
There's so much information, so many ways to get better
And we make, we make so many mistakes
We're the product of our mistakes
And oftentimes the lesson is sitting there right in front of our face
It's there to be learned, but we miss it or we don't pay attention to it
Or we think we know better, until it punches us in the face
And the most important thing to learn is that we have so much to learn
We all do
And we can learn from school and people and from experience
And we learn from life

[Chorus]
You get one shot
One shot at this gig right here
Life
One life, that's all you got
One life
One shot

But you have to process the information and you have to absorb it
[Echo] What do you do on the days when you're just not feeling it?
Those days
Those days
Those days when I'm tired or worn out
Or just basically sick of the grind
What do I do on those days?
I go anyways
I get it done
Even if I'm just going through the motions
I go through the motions
I don't really wanna work out? I work out
I really don't wanna hammer on a project? I hammer on the project
Don't really wanna get up and get out of bed?
Yeah, I get up
Default aggressive

[Peterson] Do you know who Akira the Don is?
[Rubin] Of course, he's amazing

Proactive and aggressive are similar
And they're both good
You certainly have to be proactive in the world
You want to be dictating what happens
Not responding to it
And, yes, that means creating or controlling a situation
As much as you can
But being aggressive, that means you are ready to attack
As I always point out, this doesn't mean you walk around with your chest puffed out
Ready to bang heads with everyone around you
It doesn't mean that you confront people
Physically or mentally, head-on, without a tactically superior plan
It doesn't mean you go straightforward into conflict without thought, without reason
It doesn't mean you engage in attrition warfare
[Intro]
[Theo] Yeah, recently I've been trying to get a little bit more into, uh
Finding just motivation
[Jocko] Uh-huh
[Theo] 'Cause then at least I'm
Like, active in each
I've been trying to get more active into my day-each-day
Just like, okay, I want to do this

I call it going on offense
Instead of being on defense, you just go on offense
I'm gonna make some stuff happen
That's a good attitude when you think about, think, thinking about doing it
Just go do it
Don't waste time

[Chorus]
Thinking about doing it, just go do it
Don't waste time
Thinking about doing it, just go do it
Don't waste time
Thinking about doing it, just go do it
Thinking about doing it, just go do it
Thinking about doing it, just go do it
Don't waste time
