Get It
I turn on the tube and do I see A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't me" point their crooked little fingers ar everybody else Spend all time feelin' sorry for themselves Victim of this, victim of Your momma's too thin; daddy's too fat Get it Get it All this whinin' and cryin' and a fit Get over it, get it You say you haven't the same since you had your little crash But you might feel better if I you some cash The more I think about it, Old was right Let's kill all the lawyers, 'em tonight You don't want to work, you want to live like a But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a Get it Get it If you don't to play, then you might as well split Get it, Get over it like going to confession every time I hear you speak You're makin' the most of your losin' Some call it sick, but I it weak You it around like a ball and chain You wallow in the guilt; you in the pain You wave it like a flag, you it like a crown Got your mind in the gutter, everybody down Complain about the present and blame it on the I'd like to your inner child and kick its little 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 don't you Get over it, get it

The Girl Yesterday
It wasn't reall sad the way they said Or maybe it just so bad she couldn't cry He packed his things, walked out the door and drove And she the girl from yesterday He took a plane the sea To foreign land She stayed at and tried to understand How someone who had been so close be so far away And she became the from yesterday She doesn't what's right She doesn't know wrong She only knows the pain that comes from for so long And she count the teardrops That she's cried while away Because she knows in her heart he'll be back someday The light's on in the window; waiting by the phone Talking to a memory that's coming home She dreams of his returning and the things that he say But she'll always be the girl yesterday Yeh, she'll be the girl from yesterday
Learn To Be
It's just another day in As you stumble to bed You'd give anything to Those voices ringing in head You you could find happiness Just over that hill You thought you be satisfied But you will- to be still We are sheep without a shepherd We don't know how to be So we wander this desert And wind up following the gods home But the flock cries out for And keep answering that bell And one more messiah a violent farewell- Learn to be Learn to be Now the flowers in garden They don't smell so Maybe forgotten The heaven 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 and shaken Even if heart is breakin' It's for you to awaken And you will- Learn to be to be still You just keep on Keep on
Sunrise
It's tequila sunrise Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, said He was a hired hand Workin' on the dreams he to try The go by Ev'ry night the sun goes down Just lonely boy in town And out runnin' 'round She wasn't just woman And I couldn't keep from on It's been so Oh, and it's a feelin' when It comes down to friends It ends Take another shot of Wonder why the right words never You get numb It's another sunrise,this old world still the same, frame, mm...
Hotel
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my Warm smell of colitas, rising up 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 she stood in the doorway; I heard the bell And I was to myself, 'This could be Heaven or this be Hell' Then she lit up a and she showed me the way There were voices the corridor, I thought I heard say... Welcome to the Hotel a lovely place Such a lovely Plenty of room at the California Any of year, you can find it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls How dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, dance to forget So I up the Captain, bring me my wine' He said,'We haven't had spirit here since nineteen sixty nine' And still those voices are calling far away, Wake you up in the middle of the to hear them say... Welcome to the California a lovely place Such a face livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise, your alibis on the ceiling, The pink on ice And she said 'We are all prisoners here, of our own device' And in the chambers, They gathered for the The stab it with their knives, But they can't kill the beast Last I remember, I was Running for the I had to the passage back To the I was before 'Relax,'said the man, We are to receive. You can checkout any you like, but you can leave!
