Get It
I turn on the tube and do I see A whole lotta people "Don't blame me" They point crooked little fingers ar everybody else Spend all their time feelin' sorry for of this, victim of that Your momma's too thin; your too fat Get it Get it All this whinin' and cryin' and a fit Get it, get over it You say you haven't been the same since you had little crash But you might feel better if I gave you cash The more I think about it, Old 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 doesn't owe you a thing Get it Get it If you don't want to play, then you might as split Get it, Get over it like going to confession every time I hear you speak You're makin' the of your losin' streak Some it sick, but I call it weak You drag it around a ball and chain You wallow in the you wallow in the pain You it like a flag, you wear it like a crown Got your mind in the gutter, everybody down Complain about the present and it on the past I'd to find your inner child and kick 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 Girl From
It wasn't reall sad the way said good-bye Or maybe it hurt so bad she couldn't cry He his things, walked out the door and drove away And she the girl from yesterday He took a across the sea To some land She at home and tried to understand How who had been so close could be so far away And she the girl from yesterday She doesn't what's right She doesn't what's wrong She only knows the pain comes from waiting for so long And she doesn't count the That she's cried while he's Because she knows deep in her he'll be back someday The on in the window; she's waiting by the phone to a memory that's never coming home She dreams of his returning and the things that he say But always be the girl from yesterday Yeh, always be the girl from yesterday
Learn To Be
It's another day in paradise As you to your bed You'd anything to silence Those voices ringing in head You thought you find happiness Just over green hill You you would be satisfied But you never to be still We are like sheep a shepherd We don't how to be alone So we wander 'round this And wind up the wrong gods home But the flock out for another And they answering that bell And one starry-eyed messiah Meets a violent Learn to be Learn to be Now the flowers in garden They don't so sweet 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 waiting for you to And you will- Learn to be to be still You keep on runnin' Keep on
Tequila
It's another tequila Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, goodbye He was a hired hand on the dreams he planned to try The go by night when the sun goes down Just another boy in town And she's out runnin' She wasn't just another And I couldn't keep comin' on It's so long Oh, and a hollow feelin' when It down to dealin' friends It ends Take another shot of Wonder why the right words never You just get It's tequila sunrise,this old world still the same, frame, mm...
