Hooked on phonics was a big part of my life till I kicked those words to the curb Everybody told me you’ll never get a job It’ll be a few more failures ‘fore you learn Everybody knows all they really need is Clothes and food Papa told me, “Son, don’t ever stop having fun You’re still young.” Three more majors ‘fore I gave it up for good Maybe I’ll get to work, maybe I should But I know I’ll never let it go So I’m gonna take it real slow Everybody knows all they really need is Clothes and food Papa told me, “Son, don’t ever stop having fun You’re still young.” Why do today what can be put off till tomorrow? Look at all the people around you They aren’t worried at all Now that I’m 63 years old, I didn’t take advice that I was told I’m telling you, my son, it’s time to be bold Don’t ever trade anything for your soul Everybody knows all they really need is Clothes and food Papa told me, “Son, don’t ever stop having fun You’re still young.”

Lucy Hampton on her wedding day Found her place but never found her way To make it out alive As the hourglass slipped by A few more minutes and she could Slip away Lucy Hampton How could you know That it was Your time to go And she took another breath Singing songs of life and death Knowing she could soon rejoice And fade away Lucy Hampton on her red letter day In the town where all her friends were left to lay Shattered from above How could they look down with love When all her hopes and dreams of youth Had gone astray Lucy Hampton How could you know That it was Your time to go And she took another breath Singing songs of life and death Knowing she could soon rejoice And fade away Lucy Hampton How could you know That it was Your time to go And she took her final breath Sang that song of life and death Knowing she could now rejoice And fade away

Hey there, my buddy Best friend of mine See that girl sitting over there You know she never talks to me But today she wants to go for tea So maybe Can you find another ride You know I’d never let you down You know you’re always welcome to come around But now’s my chance And I don’t want to blow it If you let me go now I will make it up to you Look all around you, see All these kids are looking at me And if we make a scene You know I can get mean You don’t have a choice But to let me leave So can you find another ride I know that we had plans But you know Nobody really understands Just how it feels to be a loner like me So if you let me go now I will make it up to you She’s getting ready To go without me How can you really be so selfish There will be other days to see the movie Today I just have one wish So can you find another ride Look what you’ve done to me You know that she’s getting ready to leave What is she gonna think of me Now that I Turned around and put her After my friend and Now she’ll find another one But someone who’s not me

Mind My Own 04:55
Ronnie says he’s going out Gonna smoke a cigarette Talk amongst yourselves Don’t pay him any mind But it’s gonna Eat me up inside I don’t wanna be the guy Who tries to tell other people How to live their lives The funny thing is I never thought I’d Be hanging out With people like that But somehow they always managed To stick around I don’t mind Cause I’m no saint I think I’ll just Mind my own Mind my own Ronnie died last Sunday A surprise to his friends but I Saw it coming A mile away But I knew better I should have spoken up Three friends now gone But instead I Minded my own Minded my own

Settle for a friend, don’t settle for less Hold ‘em til the end, no need to impress And when all the rules are broken You’ll get out Settle for a man, don’t settle for less Keep him if you can, cause people progress And when all the rules are broken You’ll get out Too many people out there Are waiting around For the man or the woman who won’t Bring them down But when they’re not satisfied They go and hide Settle for your love, don’t settle for less Even when it’s tough, you’ll conquer the test And when all the rules are broken You’ll get out Too many people out there Are waiting around For the man or the woman who won’t Bring them down But when they’re not satisfied They go and hide Settle for a friend, don’t settle for less Settle for a friend, don’t settle for less Now all the rules are broken...

Dana, my dear You have to move on Cause everyone around you knows You are no longer who you once were Just a shell of your former self It’s been so long Since you’ve seen my face You feel that nobody can replace All of the memories good and bad You feel that you’ve been had Let me out of your head I don’t want to be there any longer When will you realize That I checked out Look at the birds as they fly around Nobody on Earth can bring them down They don’t worry Cause they know the truth And so should you Let me out of your head I don’t want to be there any longer When will you realize That I checked out And it’s okay to be slow But don’t let life Move on without you Then you can realize Your worth without a doubt

Sad Genius 03:55
Brian, baby Say it ain’t so You lost your mind a long time ago I think that all these people know you Better than you know yourself Better than you know yourself Brian, baby, take it easy Get out of bed Never be lazy I think there’s a lot more for you to do So help me help you So help me help you Brian, baby What did you think When they told you What to eat and what to drink Brian, baby I gotta know Are you putting on a show Brian, baby Write me a song I don’t care if it’s two minutes long I gotta give the people something Something that they can sing Something that they can sing Brian, baby What did you think When they told you What to eat and what to drink Brian, baby I gotta know Are you putting on a show
