*Some may have Band 2: Lesson 37 - Formal Speech instead
I'm doing all I can to hold ground
Any second now I'll go down
If there's one thing I can explain
Have you noticed I don't change?
If I don't get involved
It won't be my fault
When I kiss you square in the mouth
There is something I can't ignore
When I find myself on the floor
And the explanation I lend
Is made up of words I invent
If I don't get involved
It won't be my fault
When I kiss you square in the mouth
Please forgive me if I lose my place
It is tough to maintain this pace
And if I can't learn how to behave
You will send me to a early grave
If I don't get involved
It won't be my fault
When I kiss you square in the mouth
Although I'm boiling over inside
When I look you straight in the eye
I've had plenty of time to prepare
For the secret sent in your stare
I'm making a list of things to do
And right at the top is you
But you're crossed out
Then I'll go for an hour at the gym
Instead I'll watch a film
I can't get up
Next is the bill for the credit card
I guess I'll pay at least part
But not today
I'll do all the laundry and clean the house
To help me forget about
My awful state
I really need to find a new job
I'll die I swear to god
If I don't try
Down at the bottom I see your name
How'd you get back on again?
I've lost my mind
If I could get rid of this debt
I'd be better off
Instead of being terrible
It'd be just tolerable
There'd be no troubles
I'd have no problems
If I could get a better paying job
I'd be better off
Instead of being terrible
It'd be just tolerable
There'd be no troubles
I'd have no problems
I'd pay my debts
If I would have gone to college
I'd be better off
Instead of being terrible
It'd be just tolerable
There'd be no troubles
I'd have no problems
I could get a good job
I'd pay my debts
If my mother wasn't so dang poor
I'd be better off
Instead of being terrible
It'd be just tolerable
There'd be no troubles
I'd have no problems
I'd have a degree
I could get a good job
I'd pay my debts
If my father didn't abandon our family
I'd be better off
Instead of being terrible
It'd be just tolerable
There'd be no troubles
I'd have no problems
We wouldn't have been poor
I'd have a degree
I could get a good job
I'd pay my debts
If my parents would have used protection
I'd be better off
Instead of being terrible
It'd be just tolerable
There'd be no troubles
I'd have no problems
I wouldn't hate my dad
We wouldn't have been poor
I'd have a degree
I could get a good job
I'd pay my debts
And when my numbers line up
I'll be better off
Instead of being terrible
It'll be just tolerable
There'll be no troubles
I'll have no problems
I'll make up with my dad
My kids won't be poor
I won't need a degree
You can stuff this job
I'll pay my debts
I've paid my dues
History I regret
Persecuted Jew
I can clearly see
Gave his life for me
Why do I forget?
I belong to you
I'm a lifetime member
Love that's always true
No one else around
Eyes faced towards the ground
When I remember
I belong to you
Many times I retreat
Cling to something new
Vacant in my eyes
It is no surprise
I have to repeat
I belong to you
So close to victory
I am almost through
Find me near the fuse
Thinking it's no use
Someone remind me
I belong to you
History I regret
Persecuted Jew
I can clearly see
Gave his life for me
Why do I forget?
I belong to you
I've already forgotten this war
And I never knew where or what for
But one night while brushing my feelings aside
I thought maybe there's not enough dyin'
I do not know any of the killed
But at this rate I eventually will
Somewhere a family is holding their pride
Thinking maybe there's not enough dyin'
In between weather and sports
Tuned out through daily reports
It's another good reason to help you decide
That maybe there's not enough dyin'
Our leaders are dancing like flies
Won't make the same mistake twice
Toss leftover handouts for us to divide
Because maybe there's not enough dyin'
Maybe there's not enough dyin'
Maybe there's not enough dyin'
I'll say it again 'cause it's not quite sunk in
Maybe there's not enough dyin'
Where have the protesters gone?
And somebody tell me how long
Till experts will say that the numbers have lied
And maybe there's too many dyin'
I'm not ready yet
To break down
Silence
I'm still reading up
Working out
Practice
But if your stakes are found
On this stone
Cancel
And if you'd stick around
I'd be so
Thankful
I like being cursed
Left behind
Crippled
I may be unsure
We'll get by
Simple
'Cause this is my last chance
To remove
Garbage
And with this minor change
We will lose
Our baggage
More Than Once I've
Said The Word Love
Though I Know I
Did Not Mean To
So For Next Time
When I Say Love
Make Me Eat It
Till I See You
There is no hosanna, no hosanna
Where is my hosanna, no hosanna
Take me to hosanna, no hosanna
Make me hear hosanna, hosanna
My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, but I'm busted
I got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day
The county will haul my belongings away cause I'm busted
I went to my brother to ask for a loan cause I was busted
I hate to beg like a dog without a bone, but I'm busted
My brother said there ain't a thing I can do
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu
And I was just thinking of calling on you cause I'm busted
Well I am no thief, but a man can go wrong when he's busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone and I'm busted
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family got to pack up and go
But I'll make a living, just where I don't know cause I'm busted
The company stock just fell like a rock and I'm busted
My condo was sold, SUVs getting old, and I'm busted
I've got no DVDs and no DSL
Don't bother calling, they canceled my cell
Sometimes I think it'd be better in hell than be busted
