Get It
I turn on the and what do I see A lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me" They point their crooked little ar everybody else all their time feelin' sorry for themselves Victim of this, victim of momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat Get it Get it All this whinin' and and pitchin' a fit Get over it, get it You say you haven't been the same you had your little crash But you might feel better if I gave you some The more I think about it, Old was right Let's all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight You don't want to work, you want to live like a But the big, bad world owe you a thing Get it Get it If you don't want to play, then you might as well Get over it, Get it It's like going to confession every I hear you speak You're makin' the most of your losin' Some call it sick, but I it weak You drag it around a ball and chain You wallow in the guilt; you in the pain You it like a flag, you wear it like a crown Got your in the gutter, bringin' everybody down about the present and blame it on the past I'd like to find your inner and kick its little ass Get it Get it All this 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 sad the way they said good-bye Or it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry He his things, walked out the door and drove away And she became the from yesterday He took a across the sea To some foreign She stayed at and tried to understand How someone who had been so close could be so far And she became the from yesterday She know what's right She know what's wrong She only knows the pain comes from waiting for so long And she count the teardrops That she's 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 of his returning and the things that he might say But she'll always be the girl from Yeh, she'll always be the from yesterday
To Be Still
It's just another day in As you to your bed You'd give anything to Those voices ringing in head You thought you find happiness Just over that green You thought you would be But you will- to be still We are sheep without a shepherd We know how to be alone So we wander 'round this And wind up the wrong gods home But the flock out for another And they keep answering that And one more messiah a violent farewell- Learn to be Learn to be Now the in your garden They don't so sweet you've forgotten The heaven lying at your There are so contridictions In all these we send (We asking) How do I get out of do I fit in? Though the world is and shaken Even if your is breakin' It's waiting for you to And someday you Learn to be to be still You keep on runnin' on runnin'
Tequila
It's tequila sunrise Starin' slowly the sky, said goodbye He was just a hand Workin' on the dreams he to try The go by Ev'ry night the sun goes down another lonely boy in town And out runnin' 'round She wasn't just woman And I keep from comin' on It's been so Oh, and it's a hollow when It comes down to friends It ends Take another of courage Wonder why the right never come You get numb It's tequila sunrise,this old world still the same, frame, mm...
Hotel
On a dark highway, cool wind in my hair Warm of colitas, rising up through the air Up in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight dim I had to for the night There she in the doorway; I heard the mission And I was to myself, 'This could be or this could be Hell' Then she lit up a and she showed me the way were voices down the corridor, I thought I them say... Welcome to the Hotel a lovely place Such a face Plenty of room at the Hotel Any of year, you can find it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls How they 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 haven't had that spirit here nineteen sixty nine' And still those voices are calling far away, you up in the middle of the night Just to hear say... Welcome to the Hotel Such a place Such a face They it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise, bring alibis on the ceiling, The champagne on ice And she 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device' And in the chambers, They gathered for the The stab it their steely knives, But just can't kill the beast Last I remember, I was for the door I had to find the back To the place I was 'Relax,'said the man, We are to receive. You can any time you like, but you can leave!
Wasted
