Only Love 04:09
Drugs'll rob you of yr illusions. Penetration just causes confusion. Draw yr' own conclusions; Only love will never fool you and education is for consumers if you believe the internet rumors. The government is a tumor; Only love will never fool you Your boss will try to tool you while your tutors try to school you only your mother/girlfriend/goldfish should ever rule you; only love will never fool you.

O, 1492 Columbus heard a crazy tune, it went wop-boppa-looboo, uh, whop bam-boom ...somethin about blue suede shoes, so he headed west for the eastern sea with the Nina, the Pinta, and a tambourine! Tryin to remember this crazy tune... (first hear-d it in a dream...) (it went) O! Fidodeeo dough! He came upon a patch of land, callin himself an American, it was the perfect spot for a Democracy; pot was cheap and labor was free! O! Fidodeeo Dough! With slavery and peyote we had thirteen crazy colonies, until one day when, SUDDENLY! The Indians busted in on us and took all of our tea, threw it into the sea, I know, we was all like, 'O.M.G'! It was the beginning of World War Three following a simple motto: O! Fidodeeo dough! With Washington at Valley Forge, t'was freezin cold, but up spoke George, he said, 'Fo-doh-dee-oh' an 'Beetle um bumm,' 'I wanna hold your hand' 'All you need is love' Crazy words, crazy tune, he was fighting the American Revolution what are you doing, Dad? And then Saddam Hussein boarded a plane, ruining everybody’s groovy Tuesday, so we sent some tanks in to investigate, opening up those most porous of gates. There's oil everywhere.

He's a Shamrock; he's got it all figured out. He's a Shamrock; he's a Shamrock; he's got it all figured out. He says, 'let me give you some advice,' oh 'let me give you some advice...' 'No man's an Island, entire of itself.' He is a Shamrock; he is a Shamrock; he is a Shamrock; he is a Shamrock; he is a Shamrock; We are The Dandy's We've got it all figured out. We're in a rock band, we get food stamps; we've got it all figured out. So listen to our advice. O! Listen to our advice: 'Do not go gentle into that good night!'

It works if you work it that ball an chain It works if you work it that good old ball an chain. O!

That ball an chain. O! I been sinking down a low low lonely hole a grave I fell into eight years ago! -'Well, it only sucks if you suck it, -it only sucks when you suck at it -it sucks when you suck it that good old ball and chain.
