Get It
I turn on the tube and do I see A whole people cryin' "Don't blame me" They point their crooked little fingers ar everybody Spend all their time feelin' sorry for Victim of this, victim of Your momma's too thin; daddy's too fat Get it Get it All this whinin' and cryin' and a fit Get over it, get it You say you haven't been the same since you had your crash But you might feel better if I gave you some The more I about it, Old Billy was right kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight You don't want to work, you want to like a king But the big, bad world owe you a thing Get it Get it If you don't to play, then you might as well split Get it, Get over it like going to confession every time I hear you speak You're makin' the most of your losin' call it sick, but I call it weak You drag it like a ball and chain You in the guilt; you wallow in the pain You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody Complain about the present and it on the past I'd like to find your inner child and its little ass Get it Get it All this bitchin' and moanin' and a fit Get it, get over it Get it Get it It's gotta stop sometime, so why you quit Get it, get over it

The From Yesterday
It reall sad the way they said good-bye Or it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry He packed his things, walked out the door and away And she the girl from yesterday He a plane across the sea To some foreign She stayed at home and tried to How someone who had been so close could be so far And she became the girl yesterday She doesn't know right She doesn't know wrong She only knows the pain that comes waiting for so long And she count the teardrops That cried while he's away Because she knows deep in her That be back someday The on in the window; she's waiting by the phone Talking to a that's never coming home She dreams of his returning and the things that he say But always be the girl from yesterday Yeh, she'll always be the girl yesterday
Learn To Be
just another day in paradise As you stumble to bed You'd anything to silence Those voices ringing in your You thought you could find Just over that green You you would be satisfied But you never to be still We are like sheep without a We don't know how to be So we wander 'round desert And wind up following the wrong gods But the flock cries out for And they keep that bell And one starry-eyed messiah Meets a farewell- to be still Learn to be Now the flowers in your They don't smell so you've forgotten The heaven lying at feet There are so contridictions In all these we send (We asking) How do I get out of do I fit in? Though the world is torn and Even if your is breakin' It's waiting for you to And someday you to be still Learn to be You just keep on on runnin'
Tequila
It's tequila sunrise slowly 'cross the sky, said goodbye He was just a hand on the dreams he planned to try The go by Ev'ry night when the sun down Just another boy in town And out runnin' 'round She wasn't another woman And I couldn't from comin' on It's so long Oh, and it's a hollow when It comes down to friends It never Take another of courage Wonder why the right words come You just get It's tequila sunrise,this old world still the same, frame, mm...
Hotel
On a desert highway, cool wind in my hair smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a light My grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the There she stood in the I heard the bell And I was to myself, could be Heaven or this could be Hell' Then she lit up a and she showed me the way There were voices the corridor, I thought I them say... Welcome to the California a lovely place Such a lovely Plenty of room at the Hotel Any time of year, you can it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls How they in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some to forget So I up the Captain, bring me my wine' He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen nine' And those voices are calling from far away, you up in the middle of the night Just to hear say... to the Hotel California Such a place Such a lovely They it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise, your alibis on the ceiling, The pink on ice And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own And in the chambers, gathered for the feast The stab it with steely knives, But they can't kill the beast thing I remember, I was Running for the I had to find the passage To the place I was 'Relax,'said the man, We are to receive.
