Songtext Bless yourself Jack White

Bless yourself

When I walk into the structure
I do myself a favor
And I bless myself, yes

Every head must bow down
And every tongue confess
And I don't care how you found out
This is only a test
So test yourself

I see the way that you're looking down
Tripping through life as you fumble around
Quick check, respect, nobody around
So reach under your dress
And caress yourself
Yeah, now listen

People say
"I need God on command!
God on demand!"
If God's too busy then I'll bless myself
All these people saying "call your own shots"
They're not robots, they want no roadblocks
They are a team unto themself, they say
"I don't answer to anybody but myself!"

Whose fault is it now?
Who do you blame now?
You gonna cop to that?
If you're a cop then arrest yourself
If you're trying to provoke yourself then
You're gonna need to invoke yourself then
A prayer spoken from the newly awoken says
"Must we always distress ourselves?”

You'll say this, you’ll- you'll sing this:

"Where did all the time go?"
"Where did all the love go?"
"I hung on to my ego...
But now?"
I just want to drown myself
They say trust no one, not even yourself
So now I can't even trust myself?
Damn

We always hurt the ones we love
But now we also have to love ourselves
Are you feeling blessed?
Are you feeling blessed?
No?
Then bless yourself
