530th Chapter Meeting

Nothing ever happens if you stay in your room

Nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon

Never be a winner if you're not in the game

And nothing ever happens if you always play it safe

Make a little space and get out of your own way

Nothing ever happens if you stay in your room

And nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon

Nothing ever happens if you don't get hurt

And nothing ever happens if you never get dirty

Make a little space and go on, get out, go on get out

You and you only who can make a little space and

And get out of your own way!

And get out of your own way!
