Get It
I turn on the tube and do I see A whole people cryin' "Don't blame me" point their crooked little fingers ar everybody else Spend all their time feelin' sorry for Victim of this, of that Your too thin; your daddy's too fat Get it Get it All this whinin' and cryin' and a fit Get it, get over it You say you been the same since you had your little crash But you might feel better if I you some cash The I think about it, Old Billy 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 doesn't owe you a Get it Get it If you don't to play, then you might as well split Get over it, Get it It's like to confession every time I hear you speak You're makin' the most of your losin' Some call it sick, but I call it You it around like a ball and chain You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the You wave it like a flag, you wear it a crown Got your mind in the gutter, everybody down Complain about the present and blame it on the I'd like to find inner child and kick its little ass Get it Get it All this bitchin' and moanin' and a fit Get over it, get it Get it Get it It's gotta stop sometime, so why you quit Get it, get over it

The From Yesterday
It wasn't sad the way they said good-bye Or it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry He packed his things, walked out the door and drove And she became the from yesterday He a plane across the sea To foreign land She stayed at home and tried to How someone who had been so close could be so far And she became the girl yesterday She doesn't know right She doesn't what's wrong She only knows the that comes from waiting for so long And she count the teardrops she's cried while he's away Because she deep in her heart That he'll be back The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the Talking to a that's never coming home She of his returning and the things that he might say But always be the girl from yesterday Yeh, she'll always be the from yesterday
To Be Still
It's another day in paradise As you to your bed You'd give to silence voices ringing in your head You you could find happiness Just that green hill You thought you would be But you will- to be still We are sheep without a shepherd We don't know how to be So we wander 'round this And up following the wrong gods home But the cries out for another And keep answering that bell And one more messiah Meets a violent to be still Learn to be Now the flowers in garden They smell so sweet you've forgotten The heaven lying at feet There are so many In all these messages we (We asking) How do I get out of do I fit in? Though the is torn and shaken Even if your is breakin' It's for you to awaken And someday you Learn to be Learn to be You just on runnin' Keep on
Sunrise
It's another tequila Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, goodbye He was just a hand Workin' on the he planned to try The go by Ev'ry night when the sun down Just another lonely boy in 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 down to dealin' friends It ends another shot of courage Wonder why the right never come You just get It's tequila sunrise,this old world looks the same, frame, mm...
Hotel
On a dark desert highway, cool in my hair smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the There she stood in the I the mission bell And I was to myself, 'This could be or this could be Hell' Then she lit up a and she showed me the way There voices down the corridor, I thought I heard say... Welcome to the Hotel a lovely place Such a lovely Plenty of room at the California Any time of year, you can it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls How they dance in the courtyard, sweet sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to So I up the Captain, 'Please me my wine' He said,'We haven't had that spirit since nineteen sixty nine' And still those voices are calling far away, Wake you up in the middle of the Just to hear say... Welcome to the Hotel Such a place Such a lovely livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise, bring your on the ceiling, The champagne on ice And she said 'We are all just here, of our own device' And in the chambers, gathered for the feast The it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the Last I remember, I was for the door I had to find the back To the I was before 'Relax,'said the man, We are to receive. You can checkout any you like, but you can leave!
