Advice 03:24
If you listen to the only piece of advice you ever get Then it would seem like your chances of failure might yield regret And all I know is I was told to choose And make sure I choose right All I know if doesn't feel like a choice When I write Describing monotony to express my disbelief When its likeness to Monopoly starts matching up piece to piece But this modern game has TV screens that go from space to space To retail stores and big Wall Street They update each exchange And then I realize that these structured lies That I have kept so close Are suddenly and still slowly just tools promoting molds To stick humans in, get humans out who all support the cause I forgot to brush my hair, but not my teeth I need these jaws To gnash, thrash, and maybe gash the monotonous moldy beast As ancients said, who cares they're dead, Practice patience, love, and keep The ancient commonsense of things Intact with more than tape and strings And we go on and on and on Singing na na-na na-na And we go on and on and on Singing na na-na na-na It always seems like a great escape Back to mountain men in caves Could be the only way this established earth will ever really be saved Every time you break your back from all the cracks in this concrete Gives you one more source for the false hope of permanency Which constantly invades your brain with how neat it could be To replace these three distractions With the three classes you have each week So avoid the cracks, ride your bike, remember what you mean By all your songs, your rights and wrongs, the rhymes that drive the beats Oh, the rhymes that drive the beats go ... On and on and on Singing na na-na na-na We go on and on and on Singing na na-na na-na Oh, on and on and on We go on and on and on Singin na na-na na-na Singin na na-na na-na We go on and on and on Singin na na-na- na-na We go on and on Singin na na-na na-na If you listen to the only piece of advice you ever get Then it would seem like your chances of failure might yield regret All I know is I was told to choose And choose right All I know is that it doesn't feel like a choice When I write.
