Get It
I turn on the and what do I see A lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me" They their crooked little fingers ar everybody else Spend all their time feelin' for themselves Victim of this, of that Your momma's too your daddy's too fat Get it Get it All this and cryin' and pitchin' a fit Get over it, get it You say you haven't been the same you had your little crash But you might feel better if I gave you cash The I think about it, Old Billy was right Let's all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight You don't to work, you want to live like a king But the big, bad doesn't 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 It's like going to every time I hear you speak You're makin' the most of your streak Some call it sick, but I it weak You drag it around like a and chain You wallow in the 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 like to find your child and kick its little ass Get it Get it All this bitchin' and and pitchin' a fit Get it, get over it Get it Get it gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit Get it, get over it

The From Yesterday
It reall sad the way they said good-bye Or maybe it just so bad she couldn't cry He packed his things, walked out the and drove away And she became the girl from He took a plane the sea To some land She stayed at and tried to understand How who had been so close could be so far away And she the girl from yesterday She know what's right She know what's wrong She only the pain that comes from waiting for so long And she doesn't the teardrops That cried while he's away she knows deep in her heart 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 that he might say But she'll always be the girl from Yeh, always be the girl from yesterday
Learn To Be
It's just another day in As you stumble to bed You'd give to silence Those voices ringing in head You thought you could happiness over that green hill You thought you be satisfied But you never to be still We are like sheep without a We know how to be alone So we 'round this desert And wind up following the wrong home But the flock cries out for And they answering that bell And one starry-eyed messiah a violent farewell- Learn to be to be still Now the flowers in garden don't smell so sweet Maybe you've 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 heart is It's waiting for you to And you will- Learn to be Learn to be You just keep on on runnin'
Tequila

Hotel
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my Warm smell of colitas, up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a light My head grew 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, 'This could be Heaven or this could be Then she lit up a candle and she me the way There voices down the corridor, I thought I them say... Welcome to the California Such a lovely Such a lovely Plenty of room at the California Any time of year, you can it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the bends She got a lot of pretty, boys, that she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet sweat. Some dance to remember, dance to forget So I up the Captain, 'Please me my wine' He said,'We haven't had that here since nineteen sixty nine' And still those voices are from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the Just to them say... to the Hotel California Such a lovely Such a face livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise, bring alibis on the ceiling, The champagne on ice And she said 'We are all prisoners here, of our own device' And in the chambers, gathered for the feast The stab it with steely knives, But they just kill the beast Last 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. You can any time you like, but you can leave!

got up Dressed all in Went down to the And he came back They his clothing Scattered down the track And he won't be down on Wall in the He had a The of a girl But men get sometimes As years One day he crossed line And he was too much in world But I guess it matter anymore In a New Minute Everything can In a New York can get pretty strange In a New Minute can change In a New York Lying in the darkness I hear the wail going to emergency Somebody's to jail If you find to love in this world You better hand on and nail The wolf is at the door In a New York Everything can In a New Minute Things can get a strange In a New York Everything can In a New York And in these When falls early And people rush To the ones they You take a fool's advice And tak care of own One day they're day they're gone I pulled my coat my shoulders And took a walk down through the The leaves were around me The groaning city in the gathering On solitary rock A lover left his mark, "Baby, I've changed. Please back." What the head cloudy The heart makes very The days were so brighter In the time she was here But I know there's somebody Make these clouds disappear that day, I have to believe I believe, I In a New York Everything can In a New York You can get out of the In a New Minute can change In a New Minute
The Last
She came Providence, the one in Island Where the old shadows hand in the air She her hopes and dreams like a as her father came across the sea She heard a place people were simlin' They spoke about the red way, and how loved the land And they from everywhere to the Divide Seeking a to stand or a place to in the crowded bars, out for a time, Can't to tell you all, what like up there And they it paradise I don't why Somebody the mountains low while the got high Then the chilly blew down Across the through the of the coast, to the Where the people play, hungry for to light their way and give things to do Some men came and raped the land, Nobody 'em Put up a bunch of boxes, and Jesus, people 'em And called it paradise The to be watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea You can leave it all and to Lahaina just like the did, so many years ago They even brought a sign:"Jesus is coming" Brought the man's burden down Brought the white man's Who will provide the design? What is yours and is mine? there is no more new frontier We have got to make it We our endless needs and our bloody deeds, in the name of destiny and the of God And you can see there, On morning call it paradise I don't why You someplace paradise, it goodbye
