Lyrics

Against The Grain (The Million Dollar Song)No, you're never going to fall apart
No matter what they say
You're going to hold your head up high
You're going to live your life your way
Those words are easy to accept
When they're coming off the silver screen
But they're harder to enact
When you live by what they mean

Despite your genuine intentions
It takes strength to stand the strain
Of always bearing your positions
Of always cutting against the grain

Other people try to push you down
Deriding you as odd
And when they all laugh in your face
You'll envy their facade

Despite your genuine intentions
It takes strength to stand the strain
Of always bearing your positions
Of always cutting against the grain

But if you can resist the norms that you reject
You'll always have your self-respect

Despite your genuine intentions
It takes strength to stand the strain
Of always bearing your positions
Of always cutting against the grain

No, you're never going to fall apart
