I tried so hard to control it
Like it was something I could tame
I thought I did it for the right reasons, but
They got lost on the plains

Let me roll with the punches
Reach the threshold, go across it
That's why we crashin', that's why we blossom
Baby, roll with the punches

It's a brand new day, sing my favorite song
Teachin' me to be bold
It's a brand new day, swing it back around
Learnin' quickly how to roll with the punches

With the punches

They say we're livin' in the dark age
But I see fire in the streets (Fire in the streets)
They try and kill it with that old water tank (Hey)
But they can't wash away me

'Cause we just roll with the punches
Reach the threshold, we'll go across it
That's why we crashin', that's why we blossom
Baby, roll with the punches

It's a brand new day, sing my favorite song
Teachin' me to be bold
It's a brand new day, swing it back around
Learnin' quickly how to roll (Learnin' quickly how to roll)
In the motordrome, on the highway
I drive my truck into the purple sky
Brand new day, swing it back around
Learnin' quickly how to roll with the punches

With the punches
Oh, with the punches
Yeah, yeah

All my heroes, they keep on watchin'
I hear Bikini Kill and now I'm blushin'
Praise the riot, not forgotten
Baby, roll, like a goddess

It's a brand new day, sing my favorite song
Teachin' me to be bold (Teachin' me to be bold)
It's a brand new day, swing it back around
Learnin' quickly how to roll with the punches

I roll, I roll, I roll with the punches
I roll with the punches
With the punches
