Lyrics
EVERYBODY'S ON SOMETHING
by Shannon Conley & Dean Holtermann
here comes that runaway mouth, he's got it all figured out,
He likes to preach about the way things work,
saying:
"Shape it up or ship it out, make the money & get the clout,
And take it just for what it's worth"
I just laugh at his propaganda running circles round my head,
I can hear him in my first cup of coffee & down to my last cigarette
sayin'
"IS IT ME OR COULD IT BE
EVERYBODY'S ON SOMETHING?
IF IT'S FREE OR GUARANTEED
EVERYBODY'S ON SOMETHING?"
Then he asks me what I pray for-
I say "matches, pen & paper,
& makin' it to the train on time"
Check my list of things to do:
Change the world & Change the view
But cleaning up my room is all I've underlined
But I'll gladly spend my life just trying to find the time,
I just can't pretend to spell success with Dollar $ign$
"IS IT ME OR COULD IT BE
EVERYBODY'S ON SOMETHING?
IF IT'S FREE OR GUARANTEED
EVERYBODY'S ON SOMETHING?"
PHILOSOPHY OR PIETY
EVERYBODY'S ON SOMETHING,
FANTASY, REALITY,
EVERYBODY'S ON SOMETHING
I's got me frayed like a knot, I'm frayed like a nerve
And played like a child in a grown-up's world,
And I've got to find a hobby that I can afford but what for?
there's got to be more
Than this walking contradiction, this cliche of existence,
Never resistent and often a bore & what for?
There's got to be for, what for? There's got to be more
IS IT ME OR COULD IT BE
EVERYBODY'S ON SOMETHING?
IS IT ME OR COULD IT BE
EVERYBODY'S ON SOMETHING?
IS IT ME OR COULD IT BE
EVERYBODY'S ON SOMETHING?
