lyrics

If you sat down or stood up for me, then I’d say thanks a lot
Its always good to hear it when the paupers call the shots
But if every song’s been written,
then the ones that were sung are lost
One album dropped—an afterthought—thanks a lot

Now I’ve been resuscitated from the dark depths of despair
It must feel catastrophic when you see a loved one there
But all I had to do was wash the worry from my hair
The pain is gone—the ghost is fought—thanks a lot

When your blood runs cold and you feel you have to win
And there’s noone to hold or to pick you up from what you’re in
As certain as the sun comes up from the eastern plains
You shine your light, get back up,
and do it all again / and rise above the pain

Now people used to tell me that when you get old, you’re dead
As if somehow all you learned & fought for steamed right out your head
And there’s no more admiration for the trials and strife you lead
The young have fought—the elders lost—thanks a lot

They’ll find a medication for whatever haunts your mind
And fill you with prescriptions ‘til your third eye sight goes blind
But it’s up to you to realize the time to draw the line
The bid’s been tossed—your soul’s been bought—thanks a lot
