I’m proud to announce that I have successfully finished my 12th song of the year.
there seems to be a tendency to guarantee we all be busy
we hurry and scurry all in a flurry we race
to consume and balloon we produce so much it makes us dizzy
under the assumption our gumption will not go to waste
to be free we all need to get on our knees and feed the economy
we got to grow, put on a show,
go with the flow, and keep on being devotees
we’ve got to drill, mine those hills, pay those bills, push, pull, and shove
all I really want to do is live, learn, laugh, and love
they tell me to pick my team , my nominee
and concede to their rules
where we defeat ourselves, compete, mistreat, and beat each other red, white, black and blue
we get all emotional about things we can’t control as we play the roles they approve
to meet someone else’s goals and bargain with our souls, do we really win or do we lose?
I don’t want to fight just to prove my might and beat my chest
I don’t need the extremes of these teams who need to prove they are the best
I don’t need to crow, overthrow, those below so I can be above
all I really want to do is live, learn, laugh, and love
I want to live each day as if it is its own
I want to learn all the things I thought I would know when I was grown
l want to laugh at my folly and not be afraid of the unknown
I want to love whomever I’m with even if I’m all alone
we’ve agreed that our deeds will proceed to meet our needs
and all that we do, as we fuss, cuss and fume to receive
our piece of the pie, though it’s high in the sky out of our reach
as we concede to appease the creed to feed the greedyiest
but I don’t feel compelled to offer help to build a wealth of stuff
I understand the demand to plan and expand, advance and crush
I don’t need to be the bourgeoisie
my life fits me like a glove
all I really want to do is live, learn, laugh, and love
all I really want to do is live, learn, laugh, and love
