if there's one thing that I could say to myself back in my younger days if I thought that I would take advice from a man who’s hair is grey "run away now get out while you can gotta run away now or you’ll end up working for the man" if there was a chance that I could take a trip back on my life’s parade I can think of so much to say I’d count the words but I’d probably stick to 8 run away now 1-2-3 get out while you can 4-5-6-7-8 run away now 1-2-3 get out while you can 4-5-6-7-8 "run away now get out while you can gotta run away now or you’ll end up working for the man" every day it’s same thing it's the same thing every day it’s same thing it's the same thing every day it’s same thing it's the same thing you better run away you better run away if there's one thing that I could say to myself back in my younger days and I knew that I would take advice from a man who’s turning gray

Get over yourself little man you’ve got no right you’re losing your head over nothing just for the fight drama queen seventeen Your notion of life is so shallow like puddles in rain your experience is nil you know nothing of love or pain ignorant sycophant dilettante All these things you think are important are nothing but grains of sand All the things you think you know they’ll one day flow out through your grasping hands the time on your hands better spend it and spend it well soon it won’t be yours anymore in corporate hell nevermore money whore Killing floor All these things you think are important are nothing but grains of sand All the things you think you know they’ll one day flow through your hands All the things you hope to see will seldom be what you planned All there things you’ll learn in time no reason or rhyme they’ll end up in your hands

Hey you with the mystery eyes, don't look the other way Standing at the crossroads, should you go or should you stay One path leads you to the darkest times The other has those angel eyes You walk the fine line just don't fall You may not get back here at all You're swimming through a sea of stars Don't go to deep cause it's death or bars Hey you on the higher plane, why won't you please come down Yeah, I see you standing there but your feet are off the ground When you told them that you'd be alright Flying at the speed of light You gotta pull it back or you will learn What it's like to crash and burn You're shooting through a sea of stars Don't go too high cause it's death or bars Hey you with the broken mind, just open up your eyes Don't you see her standing there, among the butterflies When she holds you and you feel no pain She'll pull you off that hell-bound train You gotta take her hand and hold on tight Release your soul it'll be alright You're loving through a sea of stars Just don't let go or it's death or bars

You look different, your name is "wierd" It's all right It's all right Be a nerd or a bookworm girl It's all right it's all right yeah They may say you'll never, don't you sweat cause It's all gonna be alright It's ok, do your own thing baby It's all gonna be alright Popular is a state of mind Go be great go be you If you want it dont hesitate It's alright to be true They may seem so pretty don't u worry It's all gonna be alright Find your place and baby love your face It's all gonna be alright Cause the ones that seem so cool Fall hard like fools Please just be you And trust me... Trust me... Trust you

Wait For The Internet Sending this song to my high school self the Class of ‘85 In hopes that I can help me then to save a little time This will be the greatest thing I’ve ever done for me My high school self will look like a genius all because of me I know you’re spending lots of time stuffin’ info in your brain English, Math & History is driving you insane Your teacher says to study hard and learn all that you can Well, take a breath and take it easy, here’s a brand new plan The future is bright, you will see The world’ll be in your pocket with anything you wanna see Wait for the Internet All the things you need to know You can carry in your pocket on a thing we call a phone Don’t invest in that Britannica set Trust me – you’ll be just fine All that stuff will be on a thing we call ‘online’ Yes, this song is from yourself from the future sent online Just looked up on the Internet how to send it back in time Hope you’ll take this tune to heart and try to use this info well Cause with speech to text and auto correct you won’t need to know how to spell The future is bright you will see You can look up anything you want And it’ll show up instantly Chorus Well, on second thought I take back all these things I’ve said to you You’ll end up with a crooked neck and your kids won’t talk to you You’ll wreck your car distracted by a thing that we call ‘text’ And you’ll have so many passwords you won’t remember one to the next Don’t wait for the Internet Just enjoy the time you’re in Your telephone don’t have dropped calls And friend is still a friend Go ahead and get that Britannica set Trust me – it’ll be just fine And all that stuff will come to you in its own time So go slow and learn and you’ll have peace of mind All these things will come to you in its own time

Don't give in for acceptance Be what you want to be Just lock the door leave all those fools behind you These aren't the best days Your friends may grow apart These aren't the best days of your life So just move on There will be questions And girls that break your heart You may not know where you are going but reach for what you want These aren't the best days When you're young and still unsure These aren't the best days of your life So just move on And if something may break you And if you fall or fail Know it gets better as you get older So Fuck them all These aren't the best days Walk whatever path you want These aren't the best days of your life So just move on

The best laid plans are made of air The glittering night is full of hope and sweet despair Count your blessings one by one And kiss them all goodbye The road will twist and turn again Beneath an endless sky There is no destination There is no destination Just enjoy the ride There is no destination Just enjoy the ride Look for signs along way And keep on breathing Keep your eyes upon the road The map's deceiving There is no destination There is no destination Just enjoy the ride There is no destination Just enjoy the ride You can head for the horizon But it's always out of reach Keep on chasing the horizon But it's always out of reach
