He never learned nothing from his old man
Sit on a sofa, pee in a can
A golden pitcher, a life-long friend
He never learned nothing from his old man
He never learned nothing from no school
Sit at a desk, kids are so cruel
Study for that test, the golden rule
He never learned nothing from no school
Awake all night, there's nothing to do
It's never alright when there's nothing to do
Awake all night, there's nothing to do
It's never alright when there's nothing to do
Awake all night, there's nothing to do
It's never alright when there's nothing to do
Awake all night, there's nothing to do
It's never alright when there's nothing to do
He never learned nothing his whole life
Get a job, find a wife
Have a couple a kids, they keep you up all night
He never learned nothing his whole life
Awake all night, there's nothing to do
It's never alright when there's nothing to do
Awake all night, there's nothing to do
It's never alright when there's nothing to do

Modern Life

When they talk about nothin' do you still listen?
When they tell you who they really are do you really care?
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Modern life will get you no matter how far you run
When Jesus tore up that temple was it that simple?
Did he catch a whiff of his own death in that den of thieves?
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Oh modern life will get you no matter how far you run
Cause there's hippies diggin' their last ditches out'n the country
While the richest buildin' rockets to escape this scene
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Oh modern life will get you no matter how far you run
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Oh modern life will get you no matter how far you run
When they sing about nothing do you sing along?
When they sell you their soul is it just a song?
Oh modern life will get you no matter how far you run
Modern life will get you from the very day that you were born
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Cause modern life will get you from the very day that you were born
And modern life will get you no matter how far you run
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Cause modern life will get you from the very day that you were born
And modern life will get you no matter how far you run
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Oh Modern life, yeah modern life
Oh Modern life

Nature's Vanity
06:39

Not enough time in the day
Not enough luck in this whole world
To complete all we wish to do
So we keep on keeping on
Through simple acts of defiance and insanity
Hoping it delivers the next chapter
In a strange and beautiful world
We are nature's vanity
Spectacular fully lit moon
I took a walk to find a merciful God
Unconditionally present
Well, I grew myself a new soul
A world without an enemy
Like the bird and the rock it's perched upon
In a strange and beautiful world
We are nature's vanity
In a strange and beautiful world
Well, we are nature's vanity

You can blame it on your Mama
You can blame it on your Papa
But it won't matter anyway
It's with us now and it's here to stay
Floating down like a feather
But you can't blame the weather
It wouldn't matter anyway
It's with us now and it's here to stay
I sure don't wanna start no war
But I cannot fight no more
You see it from your side
I'll see it from mine
But it won't matter anyway
It's with us now and it's here to stay
My sister and my brother
Keep fighting one another
Yeah, it won't matter anyway
It's with us now and it's here to stay
I sure don't wanna start no war
But I cannot fight no more
And I cannot just make it disappear
Standing right here
No, I cannot just make it disappear
Standing right here, no
I sure don't wanna start no war
But I cannot fight no more
And I cannot just make it disappear
Standing right here
No, I cannot just make it disappear
Standing right here, no
Standing right here
Standing right here
No, I cannot just make it disappear
Standing right here
No

Searchin' high, searchin' low
Searchin' everywhere you go
And for what? You don't know
Well I bet it's beautiful
Some say stop, some say go
Some say, "Fool, it'll never show"
You don't listen, they don't know
Well I bet it's beautiful
Time moves fast, time moves slow
Times have changed, yeah, I know
Think too much, act too slow
Tell yourself, "it's how you grow"
Searchin' high, searchin' low
Searchin' everywhere you go
And for what? I don't know
Well I bet it's beautiful
Searchin' high, searchin' low
Searchin' high, searchin' low
Searchin' high, searchin' low
Well I bet it's beautiful
Searchin' high, searchin' low
Searchin' everywhere you go
Yeah for what? I don't know
Well I bet it's beautiful
Searchin' high, searchin' low
Searchin' everywhere you go
Yeah for what? No one knows
Well I bet it's beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
Well I bet it's beautiful

I was alone, yeah the sky was black
And it went on forever
Everyone can see me
I saw everything
The winds of space barged right in
Like some old forgotten friend
Slowly but surely we could feel that
This was the end
Everything is illuminated
You are my myth
You left a trail in the night, honey
Well, I followed it
We can only progress
As far as we can accept
This blank canvas
This loneliness
Everything is illuminated
You are my myth
You left a trail in the night, honey
Well, I followed it
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh

Good Morning Blues
