Lyrics

THE SELF-HELP SONG
Dave Zobl

I?ve been trying to find myself but I don?t know where to look
So I went down to Tattered Cover to get myself a book
Point me in direction of the self-help section
I politely asked the clerk
Much to my alarm it was big as a barn
I guess I?m not the only jerk

There was self-projection, self-rejection, self-motivation too
How to win friends or cope when love ends
It?s all there for you
You can be from Venus or maybe Mars
Or some other galaxy
A little Road less Traveled and your life will be unraveled
And it?s cheaper than therapy

Chorus:

Having trouble with your sex drive
Can?t come through in the clutch
The seat of your soul has been left behind
And your inner child is out of touch
If you?re standing at the junction of dysfunction
And you need to know what it?s all about
Be it procrastination or religious indoctrination
There?s a book to help you out

Chorus:

If you?re like me you?re read em? all
And some have done you right
There is time in life when you hit the wall
And you need a little new insight
There are smiles and frowns and ups and downs
But you don?t need no book on a shelf
Take some time and free your mind
The best author is inside yourself?.
