Get It
I turn on the tube and do I see A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't me" They point their crooked fingers ar everybody else all their time feelin' sorry for themselves Victim of this, of that Your momma's too thin; 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 since you had your little crash But you feel better if I gave you some cash The more I 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 world owe you a thing Get it Get it If you don't to play, then you might as well split Get over it, Get it It's like going to confession every time I hear you You're the most of your losin' streak Some call it sick, but I it weak You it around like a ball and chain You in the guilt; you wallow in the pain You wave it a flag, you wear it like a crown Got mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down Complain about the present and blame it on the I'd like to find your inner child and kick its 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 stop sometime, so why you quit Get it, get over it

The Girl Yesterday
It wasn't reall sad the way 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 a plane across the sea To some foreign She at home and tried to understand How who had been so close could be so far away And she became the girl yesterday She doesn't know right She doesn't know what's She only knows the that comes from waiting for so long And she doesn't the teardrops That cried while he's away Because she deep in her heart That he'll be someday The light's on in the window; she's by the phone Talking to a that's never coming home She dreams of his returning and the things that he say But she'll always be the girl yesterday Yeh, she'll always be the girl from
Learn To Be
just 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 that green hill You thought you be satisfied But you never Learn to be We are sheep without a shepherd We don't know how to be So we 'round this desert And wind up following the wrong home But the flock cries out for And keep answering that bell And one more starry-eyed Meets a farewell- Learn to be to be still Now the flowers in garden They smell so sweet Maybe you've The lying at your feet There are so many 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 waiting for you to awaken And someday you Learn to be Learn to be You just on runnin' on runnin'
