It Seems too Much

The idea of life to me
Seems to be a bit absurd
So many things to see
Touch, smell observe
It seems too much
How bout we make a rule
You would be a fool
To judge another one
Without experiencing everything
It seems too much
You wanna travel space
Well than you are
Flying around the world
Around your very own star
It seems too much

Rat Race

Well I have to admit I’m feeling the pinch
Can't move a muscle can’t move an inch
Stuck in the rat race
How am I doin’?
Well its hard to say
Get this question most everyday
Caught in the rat race
It’s a cliche thing
To have a dream
Thats why you stop when you turn 18
Caught in the rat race

Sick & Tired

I’m about sick and tired
Why don’t you just let me be
You know I’d rather just retire
Why don’t you just let me be
I know thats not what you want
You want me to be just like you
And its quite clear by now
Thats not what I’m into
I’m about sick and tired
Why don’t you just let me be
Instead of trying to make me like you
Why don’t you try to be more like me?

If I could then I would
Make it all go away
Blow away

Doctor Lion,
Am I ok or am I dying?
Doctor said,
You seem to be doing ok/bad
Maybe it would be best
If we just, ran a couple tests
Because of course there are sad songs
But it just seems wrong for this to be one of those sad songs
Doctor Lion,
Am I ok or am I dying?
Doctor said,
The tests came back ok, or did they?
Theres not really much I can say, or can I?
Maybe there are more I could run
But would it be such a crime to know that you’re just fine?
Such a crime to know that you’re just fine
I don’t know what else to say
About this day
I made it go away
Hand clapping’s not for three
It’s only meant to be for two
I don’t know what to do
I’m taking this sound
I’ll put it in the ground
Thats where its meant to be
Just like me
Don’t know what else to say
Hand clapping’s not for three
I’m taking this sound
I’ll put it in the ground
