(D. Henley, G. Frey) I turn on the tube and what do I see A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me" They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves Victim of this, victim of that Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat Get over it Get over it All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit Get over it, get over it You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash But you might feel better if they gave you some cash The more I think about it, Old Billy was right Let's kill all the lawyers - kill 'em tonight You don't want to work; you want to live like a king But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing Get over it Get over it If you don't want to play, then you might as well split Get over it, get over it It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak You're makin' the most of your losin' streak Some call it sick, but I call it weak You drag it around like a ball and chain You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down Bitch about the present and blame it on the past I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass Get over it Get over it All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit Get over it, get over it Get over it Get over it It's gonna stop sometime, so why don't you quit Get over it, get over it
(P. Vale, J. Capaldi, P. Carrack) I was standing All alone against the world outside You were searching For a place to hide Lost and lonely Now you've given me the will to survive When we're hungry...love will keep us alive Don't you worry Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride The world is changing Right before your eyes Now I've found you There's no more emptiness inside When we're hungry...love will keep us alive I would die for you Climb the highest mountain Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do Now I've found you There's no more emptiness inside When we're hungry...love will keep us alive I would die for you Climb the highest mountain Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do I was standing All alone against the world outside You were searching For a place to hide Lost and lonely Now you've given me the will to survive When we're hungry...love will keep us alive When we're hungry...love will keep us alive When we're hungry...love will keep us alive
(G. Frey, J. Tempchin) It wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away And she became the girl from yesterday He took a plane across the sea to some foreign land She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand How someone who had been so close could be so far away And she became the girl from yesterday She doesn't know what's right She doesn't know what's wrong She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long And she doesn't count the teardrops That she's cried while he's away Because she knows deep in her heart That he'll be back someday The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone Talking to a memory that's never coming home She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say But she'll always be the girl from yesterday Yeh, she'll always be the girl from yesterday
(D. Henley, S. Lynch) It's just another day in paradise As you stumble to your bed You'd give anything to silence Those voices ringing in your head You thought you could find happiness Just over that green hill You thought you would be satisfied But you never will - Learn to be still We are like sheep without a shepherd We don't know how to be alone So we wander 'round this desert And wind up following the wrong gods home But the flock cries out for another And they keep answering that bell And one more starry-eyed messiah Meets a violent farewell - Learn to be still Learn to be still Now the flowers in your garden They don't smell so sweet Maybe you've forgotten The heaven lying at your feet -Solo- There are so many contradictions In all these messages we send (We keep asking) How do I get out of here? Where do I fit in? Though the world is torn and shaken Even if your heart is breakin' It's waiting for you to awaken And someday you will - Learn to be still Learn to be still You just keep on runnin' Keep on runnin'
