LYRICS

Why live like you’re barely alive
Why even bother to try?
Why not give it all you’ve got
Why not?

The saddest thing I’ve ever seen…
Is Shoudy sailing in a U-haul truck
What the %uck?
Life gets obscene
Know what I mean?

Don’t hesitate
Before it’s too late
Tempt fate
Go irate
Set ’em straight

Come on back, Jack!
The best crib to ad-lib
Music, dancin’ shakin’ the shack

Why live like you’re barely alive
Why even bother to try?
Why not give it all you’ve got
Why not?

LYRICS
Sorry if I look a mess
It’s time to put on your pretty dress
Hope no need to confess
Love likely turns to distress

You’ll be feeling blue
When you come to

Sorry if I look hard pressed
It’s time to put on your pretty dress
Guess you will take the test
’till your untimely rest

By the seven year itch
She’ll turn into a bitch
Once she’s turned to bitched
You’ll grasp “getting hitched”

LYRICS
How can we be totally free if we destroy our destiny?

Can you see through the tree
’cause it’s bothering me
Hopin’ it’s just temporary
’cause how can we be free… totally free… if we destroy destiny?

Can you see through the tree
’cause it’s bothering me
It’s coming to me clearly
If we can see through the tree, we’re destroying our destiny
Can’t be free if we destroy destiny

Sylvania can it be we’re in atrophy
I appear to be alone in knowing the causes of ozone
When you’re driving a car burning ethanol, you’re not burning it all
Blowing holes through trees
’till it dies… it ceases and you can see through to the sky
When the leaves cease
Makes me wonder how we can ever be free if we destroy our destiny

LYRICS
Here it comes!
Add up the sum of the sum of the sums
Here it comes

Here it comes!
It comes
Will come like a drip, drip, drip
To the tick, tick, tick-tock
Of the clock
Will it walk the walk
Just talk the talk
Talk the walk walk the talk?

Well, do you know
Will it flow
Will it usher in the gusher?
Here it comes!

Here it comes!

Will it rush right out
We’ll we find out
When it’s not quite
It won’t quit
Will it just keep coming like a comet
Through the atmosphere
Do we have something to fear?
’cause here it comes!

Here it comes!

Hope it’s bringing fun
And, then some
’cause there’s nowhere to run
Here it comes!
Like the light of the sun
I yearn that it won’t burn
I am hoping that it will shine so fine
Like a light divine

Here it comes!

Gonna usher in the gusher
Gonna know the flow
It’s about
It’s about to spout
It’s about to spout out
Here it comes!

Crippled by hysterics
Searching for the lyrics

Where do I begin
Digign’ in and penetratin’

I’ve never had writer’s slumps
Never been in the dumps
Makes it really hard for me to relate
Makes it really hard to state

LYRICS
Fluttering pink and white petals
Creates a blanket as it settles
Will the mountains and canyons shake
Will children of the sun awake?

Children of the sun
Blossoms in the wind
When the day is done
Where have you been

Now that you’re living in castles
You can’t cope with any hassles
The love child’s gone wild?
Turned to milk-toast… lame and mild

Children of the sun
Blossoms in the wind
When the day is done
Where have you been

ABOUT THE SONG
C Am D G
C Am
C G

This is a song about bands from the 60’s that sang about love and flower children. Then, they got older and richer. They turned into hypocrites living in castles. In the Led Zeppelin song “Going To California”, they sing “The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake… as the children of the sun began to awake.”

LYRICS
If times are rough, getting too tough
Do the shuffle
Take it to the street with your happy feet
Do the shuffle

For a method that’s tried and true
The elixir fixer for you
A sample dance that you can do

Got a brain fart… don’t know how to start
Do the shuffle
Do it with conviction! Do it with heart!
Do the shuffle

For a method that’s tried and true
The elixir fixer for you
A sample dance that you can do

Shake it loose. Turn on the juice.
Do the shuffle
It’s not too late to participate
Do the shuffle

For a method that’s tried and true
The elixir fixer for you
A sample dance that you can do
