CALLING OUT

I live in a four walled box and I sometimes wear day-old socks and I

Drive a white four screened box that I like to call a Ford Escort that

People seem to like to key… They give me cancer in my left kidney

And now I have to drive on my knees

Cause somebody stole my bucket seat

 

CHORUS:

Calling out… People are you listening

Calling out… Can anybody hear me?

 

Took a walk to the studio -- Friday night and no place to go

Took a look and checked my cell phone, Press the phone book button down, I scroll

To your name… Are you the same?  Or filled with fame?  Don’t let it eat at your brain

CHORUS

 

So I go to the disco and view the big stage

There’s a brother who thinks he’s a superstar with his Fender guitar, yet he’s flippin’ the page

Headstrong, that he truly belongs -- But the only thing you play are Bob Marley songs

I love the prophet, don’t get me wrong….Just bring some new material, I’m…

CHORUS

 

And girls if you like to eat (raise your hand) -- It’s healthy to be naturally

(Boys don’t demand) your girls to be too skinny, cause it’s starvation if you’re a size three

Don’t stick fingers down your throat, or swallow pills that effectively coat

Your stomach with a lining that gives you headaches

Your tummy aches, and you hurl til your back breaks

And you look in the mirror…. And you still feel inferior

But your image is clearer to me that you need help with your brain

CHORUS

 

And all the girls in the corner, Let me see you rock that shoulder

And all the boys living with your mama, paying rent

Make sure you get parental consent

CHORUS
 

I drove by the surf today… The paddle seemed to look a mile away

And everybody said, “Girl, stay away from my wave”

What the hell is up with you?  The surf is only 1 foot 2

If you wanna surf big, go Pipeline, Cause I don’t wanna hear you whine…

CHORUS
