Standing in line

Blame the shame

Putting in your time
(Is a cryin’ crime)
When there’s thrill
(… to instill, still)

Stick your finger in the dike
(May lightning strike)

Hear wisdom speak
(Or it’ll take a toll)

See the risk spike
(Stick your finger in the dike)

Selfless action
(No personal gratification)
Preventing disaster
(As we bring it on faster)

[Bridge]
Faster
(Faster and faster)

[Verse 2]
Hey, little Dutch boy
(What can I say)
Delivered us… what a joy!
(Hey! You saved the day)

See the risk spike
(Stick your finger in the dike)

Selfless action

Preventing disaster

[Intro]
(I’ve come to see:)
The gravity
(Of the situation)
… is holding me down

[Bridge]
Though naturally
(There’s agitation)
And, I’ve yet to frown

[Refrain]
(I’ve come to see:)
That gravity
(Is life’s salvation)
… keeping me down to earth
(Since my birth)

[Bridge]
Though naturally
(There’s agitation)
And, I’ve yet to frown

[Refrain]
I’ve come to learn
(That gravity)
Is life’s salvation
(… keeping me down to earth)
Since my birth
(I’ll forever yearn)

[Outro]
Though naturally
(There’s agitation)
In holding me down
(I still get around)
As we turn around
(Spinning round n’ round)
The complexity
(The severity)
… of her gravity
(Heavy, man, heavy)

[Intro]
How come…
It’s easier said
(Than done)

[Verse 1]
If it were easy
(Everybody would be doing it)
Watch out for the sleazy
(As they’re really ruin it)

[Bridge]
How come…
It’s easier said
(Than done)

[Chorus]
Because discipline
(Has been wearing thin)
The thrill of skill
(Lost and tossed)

[Verse 2]
If it were simple
(Even a monkey could do it)
But human skills dwindle
(As we say “forget it”)

[Bridge]
How come…
It’s easier said
(Than done)

[Chorus]
Because discipline
(Has been wearing thin)
The thrill of skill
(Lost and tossed)

[Outro]
I’m putting my nose
To the grindstone
(… and shoulder to the wheel)
I’m putting my knows
In the mind bone
(For the real deal feel)
