She was walking up Grand / Looking for an Opportunity Protest
With crop top and plaid pants / she picked up at St Vincent De Paul's
He was coming from Hannah's, from another dimension
Either talking bout Sarte or talking bout The Art of War
She was out of his league
But he was out of his mind
It was a time to explore
To get lost and to find, each other
It was the hottest day, since that May heatwave last summer
When wearing something close to nothing became a viable option
And all the Dad's in their Vans did a double take look from the corner
She laughed and said, "you can look but, you're so out of touch"
Together they connected - I guess you could call it a Summit
And by the Governor's mansion they left no traces to be discovered
Or so they thought
All the joy, and all the sorrow
For the boys, and the girls of tomorrow
Laughing at the time, that we try to borrow
From the Boys and Girls of Tomorrow
They were two Dharma Bums looking for a forest fire still burning
With all they learned at the College, you'd think they'd be more discerning
You can scheme you can dream but one thing is for certain
That when Hannah found out, that's when it all got real
She didn't Take It Easy
Or very well at all
There was no one there, at the bottom to catch her fall

Someone goes on last
Someone goes on first
Lowest on the bill
Doesn't mean you're the worst
Setting up our amps
At the front of the stage
Wait until the end of the night
Just in case we get paid
Tonight we're opening, for the opening band
We got better songs, but we don't have an agent
If we were better looking, we'd already have made it
It's who you are, and who you know
How's your Facebook skills, can you get her to the show?
Don't blow it now, Chris in the front row
Don't blow it now
The bass player's not melodic
The drummer's too robotic
Guitarist can't wail
Singer needs to do more scales
Sound man quit before sound check
Feedback Feedback, the first song's wrecked
My best friend showed up late
Missed the set, but he said we were great
Can you give us hand?
Cause we've got big plans
Maybe one day our name will be on top of the marquee
But tonight we're together
Even if we're not the band you came to see

Do you remember Tawny Kitaen?
Do you remember Kurt Cobain?
Do you remember World B. Free?
Do you remember You and Me?
Do you remember Baby's Got Back?
Do you remember those nights in the sack?
Do you remember OJ's glove?
Do you remember our vows of love?
You Must Destroy What Will Destroy You
You Must Destroy What Will Destroy You
Do you remember dialing up?
Do you remember giving a cuff?
Do you remember Y2K?
Do you remember us yesterday?
Do you remember Monica's dress?
Do you remember saying yes?
Do you remember Husker Du?
Do you remember me and you?
You Must Destroy What Will Destroy You
You Must Destroy What Will Destroy You
Walks in the park talking 'bout dreams
Those nights in the dark, now what's it all mean
You Must Destroy What Will Destroy You
You Must Destroy What Will Destroy You
You Must Destroy What Will Destroy You
You Must Destroy What Will Destroy You!

Somewhere between a boy and man
Not everything goes according to plan
You're parents and teachers and even you're mind
You're looking for something you can't seem to find
And you hear, it's a phase
But what does that mean to you now?
And you head it will pass
But it doesn't change the sadness, right now
Somewhere between a Boy and a Man
You want to sit down but they tell you to stand
You're up in the air, even your mind
Looking for something you can't seem to find

Too Much For You
04:43
|

You were just a boy back when it began
Parading down Grafton Street
Quickly learned with a wink and a nod
Got whatever you'd need
Had a way with the words and the birds and the boys at the bar
Took the kid out of Dublin, maybe you took it too far
Thinking about the dad you never knew
Thinking about the mother that left you
Thinking about the dreams you made come true
But it was all too much for you
Had the soul of a poet, looks for the stage
A nose for success trapped you in a cage
Couldn't stand to be alone when the music was done
Couldn't stop flying too close to the sun
A cowboy, a rocker, a fighter just the same
Some are not suited to fortune and fame
Coulda turned out alright
Maybe your star burned too bright
You gave your soul - to believe in rock and roll
I still believe in rock and roll
Do we believe in rock and roll?
Your will was weak, the horse was strong
Rode you hard til you were gone
You left us with a tear, and a song that we still sing
About brotherhood and Boys Back in Town
That jukebox in the corner still playing it loud
Cause that's when it feels, like you're still here
It was all too much for you.

Sins of the Father

The Sins of the Father, pass down through the time
Try to undo all the knots in the twine
But she don't know where we're going
She don't know where we been
The stones on the floor will collect all your tears
And this is how it begins
The mirror on the wall will refract your emotions
Reminding once more we're just drops in the ocean
And we don't know where we're going
We don't know where we've been
Inscrutable laughter ebbs out with the tide
And this is how it begins
The Sins of the Fathers pass down to the sons
You race with the devil but you can't outrun
And they don't know where we're going
They don't know where we been
The door is ajar so walk out of your cell
And this is how it...

Mommy, daddy, look at me
I went to school and I got a degree
All my friends call it "the big D"
I went to school and I got the big D
I got the big D
I got the big D
I got the big D
I went to school and I got the big D
Is your muffin buttered?
Would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin?
Excuse me (what?)
Excuse me (what?)
Hey you, over there
On the chaise longue in your underwear
What are you doing sitting down?
You should be horizontal now
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue
Is your mother worried?
Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?
Excuse me (what?)
Excuse me (what?)
Hey you, in the front row
Are you coming backstage after the show?
Because I've got a chaise longue in my dressing room
And a pack of warm beer that we can consume
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
All day long, on the chaise longue
All day long, all day long, on the chaise longue
All day long, all day long, on the chaise longue
All day long, all day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue
