Get It
I turn on the and what do I see A whole lotta people "Don't blame me" point their crooked little fingers ar everybody else Spend all their time feelin' for themselves Victim of this, victim of Your momma's too thin; daddy's too fat Get it Get it All this whinin' and and pitchin' a fit Get it, get over 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 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 world doesn't owe you a Get it Get it If you don't want to play, then you as well split Get over it, Get it It's like going to confession every time I hear you makin' the most of your losin' streak Some call it sick, but I call it You drag it around a ball and chain You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the 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 inner child and kick its ass Get it Get it All bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit Get over it, get it Get it Get it It's gotta sometime, so why don't you quit Get over it, get it

The Girl Yesterday
It wasn't reall sad the way they said Or it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry He packed his things, walked out the and drove away And she the girl from yesterday He took a across the sea To foreign land She stayed at home and tried to How someone who had been so close be so far away And she became the girl yesterday She know what's right She know what's wrong She knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long And she doesn't count the That she's cried while away she knows deep in her heart That be back 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 and the things that he might say But she'll always be the girl yesterday Yeh, she'll always be the girl yesterday
Learn To Be
It's another day in paradise As you to your bed You'd give to silence Those voices ringing in your You thought you could happiness Just over that hill You thought you would be But you will- Learn to be We are like without a shepherd We know how to be alone So we wander this desert And wind up the wrong gods home But the flock cries out for And they keep that bell And one more messiah Meets a violent Learn to be to be still Now the in your garden They don't so sweet Maybe forgotten The lying at your feet There are so contridictions In all these we send (We asking) How do I get out of do I fit in? Though the is torn and shaken Even if heart is breakin' It's waiting for you to And someday you Learn to be Learn to be You keep on runnin' on runnin'
Tequila
It's another tequila Starin' slowly the sky, said goodbye He was just a hand Workin' on the dreams he to try The go by Ev'ry night when the sun down another lonely boy in town And she's out runnin' She wasn't just woman And I keep from comin' on been so long Oh, and it's a hollow feelin' It down to dealin' friends It never Take another of courage why the right words never come You get numb It's another tequila sunrise,this old still the same, frame, mm...
Hotel
On a dark desert highway, wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, up through the air Up in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my grew dim I had to for the night There she in the doorway; I the mission bell And I was to myself, 'This could be Heaven or this could be Then she lit up a and she showed me the way There were down the corridor, I I heard them say... Welcome to the California a lovely place Such a lovely Plenty of room at the California Any time of year, you can it here Her is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she friends How dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some to forget So I up the Captain, 'Please me my wine' He said,'We had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine' And still those voices are calling far away, you up in the middle of the night Just to them say... Welcome to the California Such a place a lovely face They it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise, bring alibis on the ceiling, The pink on ice And she 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device' And in the chambers, They for the feast The it with their steely knives, But they just kill the beast Last I remember, I was Running for the I had to find the back To the I was before 'Relax,'said the man, We are to receive. You can any time you like, but you can leave!
