Grow
a beard and face my fears / Speak my mind not to feel weird / Introspect is out
the door / I threw it out like a two-bit whore / The world is just too nice / To
spoil it with a vice / The red man’s crying out for more / And now I’m
bolting down the door / I’m
changin’ changin’ / For the best, it’s time to rest / If some times I seem
confused / It’s not ‘cause I’m abused / Changes may make things absurd /
Now my whole life is a blur / If I seem so far away / Chances are I will not
stay / And if the blurring does subside / Somehow I’ll be changed inside / I’m
changin’ changing, / For the best, it’s time to rest / I’m
changin’ changin’ / For the best, it’s time to rest / Grow a beard and
face my fears…
Spite me if you want / I don’t really care / It won’t mean a thing to me / Since my heart was never there / I think that it’s a shame / You’re acting like the way you do / Maybe you’ve found the right one this time / It’s just that I think that you aught to / Do it for yourself, do it for yourself / Don’t you waste your time / Doing it for anybody else / Leave me by myself, just do it for yourself / So as not to waste my time / Doing it for anybody else / I see you’re moving fast / Moving in right then and there / I’m scared to think it might have been / Just the same with me / I once did things to help my cause / Though they were the things I never thought / That I would stoop to do / Just to impress a girl or two / Do it for yourself, do it for yourself / Don’t you waste your time / Doing it for anybody else / Leave me by myself, just do it for yourself / So as not to waste my time / Doing it for anybody else / I wouldn’t lie to anybody so why should you? / I’m thinking that it’s better over / Seeing you act the way you do / The way you do / The way you do / Do it for yourself, do it for yourself / Don’t you waste your time / Doing it for anybody else / Leave me by myself, just do it for yourself / So as not to waste my time / Doing it for anybody else
Try
as I might to understand my fate/ Well that’s okay I’ll catch on some day/
Sit in the heat watching boys and girls / As they play in the street / But I
doesn’t stay so sweet / Sweet like candy I once ate as a little kid / But now
I’m wanting to get rid / Of all these things that make me all grown up / I
can’t take the stress / The after hours are the best / Trying
to find my inner child / Just to let him run around / It’s time to let myself
get wild / After five days in this mind maze / I
don’t know if I could handle seven days of weekend / I might get tired by the
end / So I grind my axe for forty hours then take it easy / It sounds so sleazy
/ Spend five days kissing my bosses ass / Silently hoping but barely coping / By
Friday PM my knees shake / Don’t we all shake / For our minds’ sake / Trying
to find my inner child / Just to let him run around / It’s time to let myself
get wild / After five days in this mind maze / Well I’ll find a way to break
this gaze / In this damn grayscale / I deserve a raise / Screw the damn
pay-scale / There’s got to be a way to be a way / To end all these dog days / I
gotta get out of here now / There must be some way how / To find the time / To
find the time to be a kid again / Trying
to find my inner child / Just to let him run around / It’s time to let myself
get wild / After five days in this mind maze / Well I’m going to live a better
way / And stay up all night so I can play / And sleep in every single day / Yeah
I’ll stay up all night so I can play…
Hello
morning haven’t seen you in a while / With all this moaning / Wouldn’t hurt
me to just smile / Hello walkin’ haven’t done you in a while / With all this
floating around / It wouldn’t hurt me to just up my style / Got
to get my land legs back / Got to get myself back on the track / And move along
/ Hello
ladies, I haven’t had a chance in weeks / With all the party girls out there /
Nothing was for good nothing was for keeps / Hello good time not the kind I’ve
had for weeks / I mean you growin’ on me / Makin’
my knees week, so to speak / Got
to get my land legs back / Got to get myself back on the track / And move along
/ I
don’t know what happened while I was gone / All I know is where I was / Things
were not there or they were wrong / Yeah they were not there or they were wrong
/ So I move along / It’s over / Get your money back at the door
The
waters all around me are murky / But I still wade / They’re throwing
curveballs at me in the pouring rain / It hurts my brain / Though I don’t know
where I stand / I stand tall / They
love to overdo the words / In the end the truth makes lies absurd / They love to
overdo the hurt / You’re hand’s in my fire do you wanna get burned / Though
I don’t know where I stand / I stand tall / Like I was 6 feet 10 / 6 feet 10 /
Damn right I’m 6 feet 10 / I’ll
never be the lesser man again / I’ll never be the lesser man again / I’ll
never be the lesser man again / I’m gonna be the bigger man again / And that
ain’t no pun / Though
I don’t know where I stand / I stand tall / Like I was 6 feet 10 / 6
feet 10 / Damn right I’m 6 feet 10/
