From the album 'More Than We Were Before'

Words by Jim Lauzon

Music by Jim Lauzon

Verse I:

C Gm/Bb Ab Eb/G

There was once a bunch of monks who spent some months blowin their

chunks

F G C

Into a silver bowl

C Gm/Bb Ab Eb/G F

Til some tiny Asian put a termination to that situation & now

celebration

G C

Is just about their only goal

E7 Am

But here in the backwoods we've been clearly shown

E7 Am

That wisdom grows best when it's left alone

G Ab Bb C

So don't wait on the doorstep baby go on in

G Ab Bb C

& don't sing me songs about the cold cold wind

Ab D7 G7

As you hurry to hide your gloves

Chorus:

C F Bb F

La la la la la la love

C F Bb F

La la la la la la love

C F Bb F

Sit back & savour the red

C F Bb F

Your future ain't over just yet

C F Bb F G

No so shut up & take what you can get

Verse II:

You always take us for the fakest fools that's our status

In your world where pathos defines the true

You'd like to be mistook for an urban peasant or a farmer

In your little drama nobody'd be so fine as you

But you're weighed down by achin need

You might think that you're raggin me

But as far as I can see

There ain't no sense to your agony

So why do you make it out to be so rough?

Chorus:

La la la la la la la love

La la la la la la la love

Sit back & savour the red

Don't worry about what it was that you said

No, just shut up & take what you can get

Verse III:

You've always claimed to be among the maimed society's shamed

Bent bound & framed in the sin you wade in

So what if you scorched your fortune well I still don't think torture's

Somethin worth simulatin

You're constantly mismatchin

The disease that you got with the one that you're catchin

You can't keep goin around scratchin

Anybody who wasn't exactly how you'd imagined

Your situations babe are the kind that dogs dream of

Chorus:

La la la la la la la love

La la la la la la la love

Sit back & savour the red

Your future ain't over just yet

So don't worry about what it was that you said

No, just shut up & take what you can get

Verse IV:

Princess of the plebs & the paupers hailing from some other

World where you wouldn't have to deny her

Inflence & your flight from wealth but babe you gotta be yourself

Not just someone you happen to admire

Your biggest mistake

Is the way that you hesitate

You couldn't expect me to wait

For you to finally rise up & wake

& wonder what it was you were dreaming of

Chorus:

La la la la la la la love

La la la la la la la love

Sit back & savour the red

Don't worry about what it was that you said

Your future ain't over just yet

No so shut up & take what you can get
