Just Because You Can 02:01
lyrics
buy track
You can take a hammer and knock yourself right out You can hear a whisper and turn it into a shout You can do all kinds of things but be it understood Just because you can don't mean you should! - You can spend a life time doing wicked deeds You can pull the crops up and plant yourself some weeds You can have a true love and say "it ain't no good" But just because you can don't mean you should! - I think we will agree It's reciprocity For it's been tried and it's been found what goes...comes around! - You can heed my wise words or you can let them fall You can try and walk away from the writing on the wall You can want and wish for a second childhood But just because you can don't mean you should!

Don't Fix It 02:54
lyrics

If you see a sleeping dog Leave that dog alone If your working day is done make your way back home If you have a secret best if you don't speak If you want to know the truth it's old, bit not antique. - Don't fix it if it ain't broke Don't call out a fire if you don't see any smoke The world is full of people who haven't got a clue And if you have to ask...that might include you. - I can't tell you when or why I just know it's wrong when people stick their noses in where they don't belong Busy-bodies round the world have a tale to share So please do not mistake me for someone who cares - Don't fix it if it ain't broke Don't call out a fire if you don't see any smoke The world is full of people who haven't got a clue And if you have to ask...that might include you. - Long ago I realized it's a waste of time Tending someone else's business instead of tending mine We've talked about it once we talked about it twice Now it's time to shut my mouth and take my own advice. - Don't fix it if it ain't broke Don't call out a fire if you don't see any smoke The world is full of people who haven't got a clue And if you have to ask...that might include you. -

Wrong Way To Do It 02:55
lyrics
buy track
Do you ever wonder why all you do is try and try to make the cut and get the grade turn around and you've missed the parade. - Let me be the first to congratulate you You know the rules are only there to manipulate you! - That's the wrong way to do it if I were you I'd not pursue it. There's no doubt it now no need to scream and shout it now. Listen carefully to what I say... turn yourself around: That's the wrong way! - You know the ones who make the rules figure us for a pack of fools. They set the pieces and rig the game so you're a number and not a name. - The time has come to show some bravery call it what it is, my friend, it's slavery! - That's the wrong way to do it if I were you I'd not pursue it. There's no doubt it now no need to scream and shout it now. Listen carefully to what I say... turn yourself around: That's the wrong way!

You Ought To Know Better 02:45
lyrics

A drinker says he'll quit drinking A thinker says he'll quit thinking A gambler says he'll quit gambling A rambler says he'll quit rambling - I don't believe that you believe that they believe that they'll ever achieve that Some way some day some how... You ought to know better by now. - A talker says he'll quit talking A walker says he'll quit walking A lover says he'll quit loving A shover says he'll quit shoving - I don't believe that you believe that they believe that they'll ever achieve that Some way some day some how... You ought to know better by now. - A preacher says he'll quit preaching A teacher says they'll quit teaching A clinger says they'll quit clinging The singer says he'll quit singing - I don't believe that you believe that they believe that they'll ever achieve that Some way some day some how... You ought to know better by now.

I Wish You Could 02:10
lyrics
buy track
I wish you could see just exactly what I see I wish you could see just exactly what I see Cause if you saw just what I see There is no doubt you would agree That what I see are the kinds of things you ought not see - I wish you could hear just exactly what I hear I wish you could hear just exactly what I hear Cause if you heard just what I hear It would be perfectly clear That what hear are the kinds of things you ought not hear - I wish you could know just exactly what I know I wish you could know just exactly what I know Cause if you knew just what I know You'd probably turn around and go Cause what I know are the kinds of things you ought not know - Yes, what I see and what I hear And what I know fills me with fear So I guess I'd better turn off... My television!

That's How You Do It 02:35
lyrics
buy track
Do what you love and love what you do That's how you do it...do it! - To thine own self you must be true. That's how you do it...do it! - Work your hustle everyday try and make a better way Listen now to what I say, 'cause that's how you do it. - Say what you mean and mean what you say. That's how you do it...do it! - Show them that this player don't play. That's how you do it...do it! - Work your hustle everyday try and make a better way Listen now to what I say, 'cause that's how you do it. - Be who you are and that's who you'll be That's how you do it...do it! - Because I'm not you and you ain't me. That's how you do it...do it! - Work your hustle everyday try and make a better way Listen now to what I say, 'cause that's how you do it.

Time...to do it again 02:53
lyrics
buy track
Everyone's in a hurry Seems like it never ends There's no time to do it right So we make time to do it again - Let's face our limitations Embrace lessons from the past Stop stealing from the future And tell the truth at long last - Life is short and talk is cheap But be sure what you sew is what you will reap Everyone's in a hurry But mark it down, my friend, If we don't take time to do it right There will be time to do it again - Everyone seems to worry About things they cannot change Like that's some kind of 'normal' But I think it's rather strange - Some things last forever And some things simply don't Play their game and try to win But I'm telling you, you won't - Life is short and talk is cheap But be sure what you sew is what you will reap Everyone's in a hurry But mark it down, my friend, If we don't take time to do it right There will be time to do it again
