Hey! It's so good to see you. I just gotta take this call.
Gotta check my Snapchat and write on my friend's wall.
So much excitement and none of it happening 'round me.

Well of course we're friends, that's why we're hanging out.
I can't help if you choose to live without
The best thing that's ever been given you and me.

Technology, O I sing your praise
Technology, I could hang with just you for days
And that's a good thing 'cause that's exactly what I do
O, Technology...

Hey! Why'd you leave me here, all on my own?
Well, this ain't so bad. I'll just take pictures on my phone.
And yes, I'll be the star of every shot.

Technology, connecting me to all my peers.
Technology (at least the ones who aren't here).
I'll run the risk of alienating you
For technology...

There was a time when I had all I could want
Roof over head and ready for the great beyond
But that's all changed
Yeah, that's all changed

Life was so simple, far as I could tell
No difference between the Read House and a long-term motel
But that's all changed
Yeah that's all changed
'Cause the things that I love, they ain't the same

I gotta upgrade, get a watch made of gold
Bought the finest car on the lot that's what I was told
Cause I've changed, yeah I've changed
Shoes made of leather from an old rattlesnake
This 40-carat diamond better not be fake
'Cause I done changed, oh yeah I changed
The things that I love, they ain't the same

Gimme something
I've heard better

Put my time in, saved up all my dough
Look out the window, seeing helpless folks
I need to change, yeah I need to change
Forget about myself, look out for my fellow man
Can't change the world but I'll do what I can 
I need to change, yeah, I need to change
The things that I love can't be the same
Something's going on inside me, I feel the change
The thing I love are people, and I feel the change

Change

You wore that black skirt, walked across my world
Took a seat beside me, bell rang, class began
Stars aligned, a hint of divine
As the teacher went on and on and on

Some things are worth dreaming of

Four years to go, opportunity to show
No matter what comes I'd be true
That look in your eyes, and my heart wasn't mine
And I'd go anywhere to be with you

Some things are worth waiting on

What did I say? 
What did I do?
Still can't believe that I've got you
"Nothing," you say
But the answer won't change the fact that I'll never deserve you

Look at these gifts: marriage, two kids,
Life that for most is only a dream
What's coming next? Ease or more tests
I'll take it on as long as you're with me

Some things are worth fighting for
Some things are worth fighting for
Some things are worth dying for
Some things are worth living for
I'll live for you

This ain't no stairway that takes you to Heaven
This is so much more:
A ladder that opens up closed corporate doors
We'll smash through the ceiling, overthrow the old order because

Success looks like this:
Being on top & not giving a ____(fill in the blank)___
About the ones you used as steps to get there

Play nice, smile friendly, be polite
So when they find out the truth, they'll be surprised
You're not really one of them
You're a king wearing commoner's garb

Success looks like...

Hunker down, protect yourself
It's not their effort it's not their wealth

Success...
Being dead is a resume killer

This is now what family is

What you looking at?

I got problems they’re family deep
Looks to me that’s not unique
People all battered and broken
Shattered objects tend to stay in motion

Whose side you on?

B D A B G A B | CHORUS: D EB D EB D EB A G
They’ve seen so much through their weary eyes
Heartache, success they’ve had their share
And as reward for the life they’ve lived
We trade them loneliness and despair
If we just treat them like we want to be
Take time to learn from their stories
Look outward, have a seat, touch their hand
This is how life oughta be

We separate from the aged
Convince ourselves that won’t be us
Don’t separate from the aged
Those gray hairs can be yours

Once they were 18, too, thought they knew it all
Idealism in their veins
But after years of chasing after dreams
We look away in shame

Aged And Forgotten

All that i see what i look at you is perfection in flesh
Lines in all the right places, nothing is left
But the bees and the wasps and the other stinging things got nothing on your tongue
Soon as you crack those lips the beauty is gone

Chorus Cause words have meaning & people have feelings
Open your mouth let the ugly flow out
For out of the overflow of your heart
Come all those words that show who you are

Mama said, “Son, stay away from women with no control,
‘Cause she ain’t no good & she ain’t changing - no, not for you.”
I measured those words but they felt light
The hurt that came after proved she was right

All that i see when i look at you is the trail that you’ve burned
Everyone said that i wouldn’t, but i finally learned

Ugly Flow

Em G C Em / GM7 CM7 D
Feel so alive ‘til your face hits the mirror,
When years of experience, they look back at you
But you wonder where the lines of the pain came from
Your initial response: “Don’t call me sir,” 
But the kid just responds that you’re older than dirt
And all you can feel is uncomfortably numb.

Days run by, the years won’t slow
While all that you really wanted to know
Was how to make life what it ought to be
So you try to save and you struggle to savor
The lives that you’ve lived that most take for granted
Now it’s getting so dark, you can’t see

Chorus: 
All of your pals laugh and ignore
That they’re dying too, they’ll walk through that door
And they’ll never come back out again

Kids all grown, house fully empty,
Fast food on the table, empty the pantry
Loneliness it creeps out in the open now
Neighbors avoid you, wife can’t control you,
Bosses, coworkers, all just adore you
So you take center stage and take a bow
But how much more of yourself can you stomach
You wanna change, but you ain’t got the muscle
And you wouldn’t buy the show if it sold

Take what you want, just leave me alone
Called 45 times you won’t answer the phone
Searched and searched for signs of life
Far as i can tell this ain’t a one-way drive

Em C
So why do you \ Keep treating it that way
As if i’m always / Getting in the way

Don’t seem too troubled to call when in need
But i’ve lost the bandage and can’t stop the bleed
You keep ignoring the things that i say
Starting to realize we’re not okay

So why do you / Keep treating it that way
As if i’m always / Getting in the way

Instrumental

So why do you / Keep treating me this way
As if i’m always \ Getting in the way

Take what you want just leave me alone

Take What You Want

C Am / Dm G7 Em Am Dm G7
When you’re around it’s all daffodils and sunshine
You leave and in come clouds and storm
With you by my side I own all the world’s riches, baby
You walk away and leave me poor

But you don’t want to break me down, do you, honey?
You don’t want me to drown in sorrow, do you, baby?
So why don’t you come back to me?

We had a great thing before it broke down
Now I’m left picking broken pieces off the ground
Tell your mama, tell your pa and all your friends
The love that was too good to last came to an end
