lyrics

It’s not easy to explain
the inner workings and lack there of in my brain
I’ve got philosophers, and politicians
sabateurs, and executors
who think what's best is better than the others

It takes awhile
and a whole lot of words
I know I make it easy but
It’s not as simple as it looks
I’ve got a lot of friends
They look at me and say,
"You got some shit
That you should work on,
Maybe put it in a song…

But what do they know?
all they want is a song for them sing along

So I guess I’ll sit down
and write out a tune
Not just therapeutic for me
but catchy enough for you
This may be a weird analogy
But It sure does seem
your getting therapy for free.
and I don’t think thats really fair...

How does one
write a verse
that doesn’t come out contrived, and rehearsed
I’ll String a few together
hope the through line hits the better points
to fool em into thinking
I'm more thoughtful
Than I ever claimed to be

But where do they come from
If they are not actually coming from me

So, there ya go
Are you happy now
I just saved the universe
through rhyming somehow
Another notch on the belt
A feather in my cap
Another wasted afternoon
When I could have been napping

I could be a doctor
If I apply myself better
I’ve got the power to heal
when we sing along together
It looks like you’re doing good
and that I gave some good advice
I don’t really need it but
A thank you would be nice

I don’t really need it
but a thank you actually’d be really nice

I don’t really need it
But a thank you would be nice.
