Get It
I on the tube and what do I see A lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me" They point crooked little fingers ar everybody else Spend all their feelin' sorry for themselves Victim of this, of that Your momma's too thin; daddy's too fat Get it Get it All whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit Get over it, get it You say you haven't been the since you had your little crash But you might feel better if I gave you cash The more I think it, Old Billy was right kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight You don't to work, you want to live like a king But the big, bad world owe you a thing Get it Get it If you don't want to play, then you might as split Get over it, Get it It's like going to confession every time I hear you You're makin' the most of your losin' Some call it sick, but I 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 it like a crown Got your mind in the gutter, everybody down Complain the present and blame it on the past I'd like to find your child and kick its little ass Get it Get it All this and moanin' and pitchin' a fit Get it, get over it Get it Get it It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you Get it, get over it

The Girl Yesterday
It wasn't sad the way they said good-bye Or maybe it just hurt so bad she cry He packed his things, walked out the door and away And she the girl from yesterday He took a across the sea To some land She stayed at home and to understand How someone who had been so close be so far away And she became the girl yesterday She doesn't what's right She doesn't what's 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 in her heart That he'll be someday The light's on in the she's waiting by the phone Talking to a memory that's coming home She of his returning and the things that he might say But she'll always be the from yesterday Yeh, she'll always be the from yesterday
To Be Still
It's another day in paradise As you to your bed You'd anything to silence Those ringing in your head You thought you could find Just over green hill You you would 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 following the wrong home But the flock out for another And they keep answering bell And one more messiah Meets a violent to be still Learn to be Now the flowers in your They smell so sweet Maybe you've The heaven at your feet There are so many 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 heart is waiting for you to awaken And you will- to be still to be still You just on runnin' Keep on
Sunrise
It's tequila sunrise Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, goodbye He was just a hand on the dreams he planned to try The go by night when the sun goes down Just another boy in town And out runnin' 'round She wasn't another woman And I couldn't keep comin' on It's been so Oh, and it's a hollow when It comes down to dealin' It never Take another of courage Wonder why the right words come You get numb It's another tequila sunrise,this old looks the same, frame, mm...
