Lyrics
Upstart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hard working man, he's got his hopes set high.
The city pays him so the rich don't cry.
His practice of settlement will keep their pockets
Full.
But there in the end he never got used to it.
Sometimes i feel like i wanna die.
Its starting up.
I'm sure that i'll get used to anything but this.
All the wait-and-see's, they never really came to me.
Should i hide-and-seek?
My mother tought me not to cheat.
Oh would you shut him up!
Oh would you please shut up!
'cos i'm starting up.
Upstart, you know i'm down for anything i've missed.
Now its starting to get old and he's getting pretty
Tired only living his life on the sunny-side.
He's got a real sweet lady, gonna soon make her his
Wife.
But this money-making-mindset has put a thorn in his
Side.
Somethings i feel like i'm gonna cry.
Its starting up.
Not sure that i'll get used to anything like this.
All the wait-and-see's, they never really came to me.
Should i hide-and-seek?
My brothers taught me how to cheat.
Oh did i!
Oh would you shut him up!
Oh would you please shut up!

'cos i'm starting up.
Upstart, you know i'm down for anything i've missed.
Oh would you shut him up!
Oh would you please shut up!
'cos i'm starting up.
Upstart, you know i'm down for anything i've missed.
He says, "i miss those days when the going was easy.
I've got a soda in my hand and my pocketbook's empty."
He says, "i wanna go to heaven but i ain't in a hurry.
I'll love the land and all we fools and know that god
Is my witness."
Sometimes i feel i can't get started up.
I left my heart in my stomach so i feel ill everyday.
The wait-and-see's, they never really came to me.
Should i hide-and-seek?
My brothers taught me how to cheat.
We are the fools and we're running this town.
So lets listen to bob dylan and watch the walls falling
Down.
Right now!
Oh would you shut him up!
Oh would you please shut up!
'cos i'm starting up.
Upstart, you know i'm down for anything i've missed.
Oh would you shut him up!
Oh would you please shut up!
'cos i'm starting up.
Upstart, you know i'm down for anything i've missed.
