Get It
I turn on the and what do I see A whole lotta cryin' "Don't blame me" They point crooked little fingers ar everybody else Spend all their time feelin' sorry for Victim of this, victim of Your momma's too thin; your 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 think about it, Old Billy was kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight You want to work, you want to live like a king But the big, bad world owe you a thing Get it Get it If you want to play, then you might as well split Get it, Get over it It's like going to confession every time I you speak makin' the most of your losin' streak Some it sick, but I call it weak You drag it around like a and chain You in the guilt; you wallow in the pain You wave it like a flag, you it like a crown Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' down Complain about the present and blame it on the I'd to find your inner child and kick its little ass Get it Get it All bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit Get it, get over it Get it Get it It's gotta sometime, so why don't you quit Get over it, get it

The Girl From
It wasn't reall sad the way they good-bye Or it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry He packed his things, walked out the door and drove And she became the girl yesterday He a plane across the sea To some land She at home and tried to understand How someone who had so close could be so far away And she became the girl from She doesn't what's right She doesn't what's wrong She knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long And she count the teardrops That cried while he's away Because she knows deep in her That he'll be back The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the to a memory that's never coming home She dreams of his returning and the things he might say But she'll always be the girl from Yeh, she'll always be the girl yesterday
Learn To Be
It's just another day in As you to your bed You'd give anything to voices ringing in your head You thought you find happiness Just over green hill You thought you be satisfied But you never Learn to be We are sheep without a shepherd We know how to be alone So we 'round this desert And wind up the wrong gods home But the cries out for another And they keep answering bell And one more messiah Meets a violent to be still Learn to be Now the in your garden They don't smell so Maybe you've The heaven lying at feet There are so contridictions In all these messages we (We asking) How do I get out of do I fit in? Though the world is torn and Even if your heart is It's for you to awaken And someday you Learn to be to be still You just keep on on runnin'
Tequila
It's another tequila slowly 'cross the sky, said goodbye He was just a hired Workin' on the he planned to try The go by Ev'ry night when the sun goes Just another boy in town And out runnin' 'round She wasn't another woman And I couldn't keep from on been so long Oh, and it's a hollow feelin' It down to dealin' friends It ends Take another of courage Wonder why the words never come You get numb another tequila sunrise,this old world still the same, frame, mm...
Hotel
On a dark highway, cool wind in my hair smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a light My head heavy and my sight grew dim I had to for the night There she stood in the I heard the bell And I was to myself, 'This could be Heaven or this could be she lit up a candle and she showed me the way There voices down the corridor, I thought I heard say... Welcome to the Hotel a lovely place Such a lovely Plenty of at the Hotel California 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 friends How they in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to So I up the Captain, bring me my wine' He said,'We had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine' And those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the of the night Just to them say... to the Hotel California Such a lovely 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 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device' And in the chambers, They gathered for the The stab it their steely knives, But they can't kill the beast Last I remember, I was for the door I had to find the passage To the place I was 'Relax,'said the man, We are to receive. You can any time you like, but you can leave!
