Idle Idylist (Live) - Tim Barry.mp3

[00:22.53]Every time I stop and think
[00:25.44]I'm hit with everything
[00:27.60]That I was taught about right and wrong
[00:30.27]And what to get used to.
[00:32.85]They're cheating in the seats of SUVs,
[00:35.94]In the shade of the trees,
[00:38.37]Down my street, behind the backs of husbands, wives and bosses.
[00:43.95]And I'm sitting here with my dog, six beers and my guitar
[00:49.02]On this porch of wood making them my business.
[00:53.85]They say the economy is in a slump
[00:56.70]And folks like them, they're giving up
[00:59.19]They jump from planes, in front of trains, and some from bridges.
[01:04.44]That's alright, that ain't my life.
[01:09.99]I cough all morning and I smoke all night.
[01:14.76]That's alright, that ain't my life.
[01:19.59]I pay $200 rent and I work when I like.
[01:24.99]Woah woah, where did we go wrong?
[01:30.15]Woah woah, have I been sitting out too long?
[01:35.67]No cash in my hands means I'm nothing to you.
[01:40.68]But I won't sell myself.
[01:50.64]I've got this friend close to me
[01:53.19]She called from NYC
[01:55.53]Said she's got stock options, salary and full benefits.
[02:00.45]She works the 22nd floor
[02:03.60]In a cubicle built for her
[02:05.82]She answers phones and talks a bunch about investments.
[02:11.25]Well she's finally in love
[02:13.41]She met some guy from Texas
[02:16.17]She says he's the one but she has yet to meet him.
[02:21.63]They talk now everyday, online to communicate.
[02:25.95]I said **** that job, **** that new beau, yeah **** that pension.
[02:31.20]Cause that ain't right, that ain't no life.
[02:36.27]You work a 60 hour week to see one hour of sunlight.
[02:41.58]That ain't right, no that ain't no life.
[02:46.92]That guy, when you finally meet in the end, you won't even like.
[02:51.60]Woah woah, where did we go wrong?
[02:56.64]Woah woah, have I been sitting out too long?
[03:02.04]No cash in my hands means I'm nothing to you.,
[03:07.02]But I won't sell myself.
[03:17.40]Every time I stop and think
[03:20.19]I'm hit with everything
[03:22.41]That I was taught about right and wrong
[03:25.14]And what to get used to.
[03:27.81]I let the greedy deal with greed.
[03:30.48]I ain't got nothing but myself
[03:33.57]And I ain't selling that for no one else.
[03:38.34]I won't surround my emptiness with greed
[03:41.61]Or **** I don't even need
[03:44.34]In don't ask don't tell relationships based on infidelity.
[03:49.26]I know it ain't right, it ain't much of a life.
[03:54.24]But I let tomorrow be tomorrow
[03:57.57]And let tonight be tonight.
