DEAL WITH IT
(words & music by Nate Butler)
You got pressure, thinkin’ ‘bout the deficit
You get your pleasure smoking on that cigarette
Well, it's so hard to think – well, take a look at your party drink
Even Jesus knows that it's hard to swing -- you’ve gotta deal with it
You got pressure, ‘cause you know you wear that ring
While you get pleasure watchin’ others shake a thing
Well, it's so hard to think -- well, take a look at your party drink
Even Jesus knows that it's hard to swing -- you’ve gotta deal with it
(Now you know) Everybody's got to deal with it
(Now you know) Everybody hurts a little bit
(Now you know) that you're never all alone
Ah-ha, me and you! Ah-ha, me and you!
Now you know ... now you know ...
You got pressure, friends tell you to stop and think
From gettin' pleasure, gulpin’ down your party drink
You got pressure, thinkin’ ‘bout the deficit
You get more pleasure smoking on that cigarette
Well, it's so hard to think -- well, take a look at your party drink
Even Jesus knows that it's hard to swing -- you’ve gotta deal with it
(Now you know) Everybody's got to deal with it
(Now you know) Everybody hurts a little bit
(Now you know) that you're never all alone ... ah-ha, ah-ha!
(Now you know) Everybody's got to deal with it
(Now you know) Everybody hurts a little bit
(Now you know) that you're never all alone ...
Ah-ha, me and you!
Ah-ha, me and you!
