Maybe your life isn't quite the way you planned it
Maybe you're livin' in a room in mamma's basement
You were young when your daddy died and you never got over it

Now you're acting like you're still back in high school
But things don't work the same the way they used to
So put your phone in your pocket
'Cause I think you've maybe had enough
And zip it up

There's a girl you think you might wanna meet her
But you haven't got a clue how to treat her
She don't act the same way as the ones that you see online

Now you're yelling at the world from your bedroom
With all the hate you spew in the chat rooms
Maybe the best thing for you is to know when it's time to shut up
And zip it up

The man selling ice cream don't look like your brother
But he might be a stranger in need
So be kind to your neighbor
'Cause he might be your savior someday when you start to bleed

You wanna know what it means to be a real man
You better start right now with a new plan
You might wanna be a leader but respect is something you gotta earn

You can lead by example through some hard times
Show respect to the people on the front lines
Take the stupid flag off the back of your pickup truck
And zip it up
