What's the use in singing songs
We can all chime in off key
We can dance until we all fall down
Whats the use of a pretty face
One thats painted and ignores
Every earthling that violates her space (space)
Why not go out and wrestle the tide?
Why not question the very truth
by which we abide?
Seems it all comes to pass so quickly
Why take shit from those who dont care?
The only true reason their really there
and have a job
cause their label's the mob
Now me I'm not one to dwell
on the ups and downs or in my own hell
I just sit back and think
about how life can be swell
Sometimes it never as fun
as some may make it seem
I slip my fingers in between
the shoulders of all the people
sometimes its never as easy
as the child inside thought it would be
professional community
run by thieves
Now me I'm not one to dwell
on the ups and downs or in my own hell
I just sit back and think
about how life can be swell
Me I'm not one to dwell
on the good, the bad, or in my own hell
I just back and think
About how life can be swell
Life could be swell
I wanna sing R&B
Make a million dollar video for BET
Do a remix version for MTV
Get shot, come back to life in 5 movies
I wanna sing R&B
Make a million dollar video for BET
Do a remix version for MTV
Get shot, come back to life in 5 movies
Now me I'm not one to dwell
on the ups and downs or in my own hell
I just sit back and think
about how life can be swell
Me I'm not one to dwell
on the good, the bad, or in my own hell
I just back and think
About how life can be swell
Life could be swell
Life could be swell
