[00:00.00]Happy New Year -Todd Snider
[00:02.540]Everybody
[00:12.220]There's an overweight man with an overweight woman
[00:14.710]On a sofa watching TV
[00:17.80]He's yelling his opinion at the television
[00:19.700]She looks up from her food and agrees
[00:22.70]They got two bumper stickers on there pick up truck
[00:24.820]They keep the pick up parked outside
[00:27.570]One sticker says What would Jesus do
[00:29.820]The other bumper sticker says Power of pride
[00:32.500]I was thumbing through the stations on my own television
[00:35.120]When I come across a guy on this religious station
[00:37.490]Singing Somebody's coming
[00:38.870]He's sounding whiter than me somehow
[00:41.691]Wow it took me back in time through dwindling joy
[00:45.61]To when I was such a guilt ridden Catholic boy
[00:47.811]I'm evangelical agnostic now
[00:54.41]I don't know what we're doing here
[00:56.781]You don't know what we're doing here
[01:03.81]Now Christians don't walk out on me just yet
[01:05.761]You know whose name I'll be yelling as I'm clutching my chest
[01:08.391]The one my dad told me to and his told him to
[01:10.881]And I probably pray as much or more than you do
[01:13.501]Believing shit every word I sing
[01:15.811]But believing and knowing those are two different things
[01:18.431]And if your trying to change the way a strangers life will have to go
[01:21.301]I believe this is where I wanna stick to what I know
[01:23.861]Which is nothing you know nothing for sure
[01:26.251]So just chill till the next episode
[01:28.681]Now back to the lecture at hand
[01:31.111]Seems like my neighbor wants to kill what he can't understand
[01:33.551]I say we can't just kill what we don't understand
[01:36.231]But I turn on my TV and see that oh yeah we can
[01:39.601]We can and we have since then dawn of man
[01:41.851]For countless gods whose only real seeming plan
[01:43.971]Was to see to it that clinging to life was our fate
[01:46.841]And you gotta admit that life's pretty great
[01:51.81]But can we deny that it's killing us
[01:56.391]I'll be here all week
[01:59.571]Happy New Year everybody
[02:04.561]Happy Birthday country joe
[02:09.371]I resolve to do like I always do
[02:14.611]I ain't hurtin'you
[02:51.126]If life is anything it's embarrassing
[02:54.66]A rusty nail through a careless shoe
[02:56.306]You can't help but sit around and wonder sometimes
[02:58.556]Why there's never anything the nail can do
[03:01.126]Or think about how unfair it is
[03:03.556]That the shoe is always going where it's got to
[03:06.246]If you ain't the dumb kid out running around
[03:08.676]You kinda gotta do what you're born to do
[03:11.176]Hey happy new year everybody
[03:16.166]And specifically Happy Birthday to you country joe
[03:21.226]I resolve to do what I always do
[03:26.216]And I only ever make it a day or two
