Don't listen to them
Live in your head.
Make a lot of noise
Cry if you must
Take notes along the way
Before it all turns to rust.
Blow your own horn, trumpet and flute
Up the ante, hide the loot.
Tell them you can't remember
The faces and names,Partners in love -
Who is to blame?
Sooner or later they'll believe you
Leave you alone,
Repair the hatchet, bury the bone.
Whatever works is fine with me -
Remember a different story, disagree.
In the end is the beginning
I've seen it before -
Bats in the attic, cracks in the floor.
No one gets out easy, you pay every day
Bills on the table, doctor's away.
Hail in a wind storm -Swim up a creek,
Grab the hand that feeds you
Take a big leap!
Keep on breathing, in and out
Don't believe what they tell you
And for god's sake look out
For best intentions, those who do good --
A conspiracy growing in the neighborhood.
Walk your own path, not his or mine.
Stop in the woods, take your damn time.
Wake little baby-
No time to sleepKeep your eyes open
Make nary a peep! -
Until you are ready
And then let her blow
Wail your own song
Give 'em a show.
Tell them its your time
To make the mistakes
Start a new fashion
Point out the fakes.
Push them asideThey've had their run
To get it all wrong
Ruin all the fun.
Don't listen to them,
Live in your head.
Wake little baby, no time for bed.
