How It Is - Okkervil River

You can’t let yourself be selfish

You can’t let yourself be sold

You gotta let your brother in from out the cold

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

You can’t let your heart get tired

You can’t let your head get told

You gotta let the outcast back into the fold

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

You know that’s how it is now

You know that’s how it is now

You gotta do the Hully Gully now

You gotta do the Mashed Potato

You gotta hit the hissing floor and lose control

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

You can’t think you know the answers

Oh, just because you’ve grown

You’ve got to take your sister’s problem as your own

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

You know that’s how it is now

You know you know I’m right now

That’s how it is
