The Shipped Gold Standard

Sometimes i want to quit this all

and become an accountant now

but i'm no good at math

and besides the dollar is down

plant more trees on Lake Michigan before it gets cold

I gotta feel the wind chill again before I get old

I wanna scream "I Love You" from the top of my lungs

but I'm afraid that someone else will hear me



You can only blame your problems on the world for so long

before it all becomes the same old song

as soon as we hit the hospital I know we're going to leave this town

and get new passports and get, get, get, get, get out now



All the 'yes' men said "no comment"

my mouth got goin'

the wrong way

and all the calls

got to know when

the time my dad caught me a horse shoe crab

and I asked him if throwing it back into the sea

would bring our luck back

I wanna scream "I Love You" from the top of my lungs

but I'm afraid that someone else will hear me



You can only blame your problems on the world for so long

before it all becomes the same old song

as soon as we hit the hospital I know we're going to leave this town

and get new passports get out now



tell that boy i'll leave him alone

like a ... i'll turn my love...

... both in the business of soul



I wanna scream "I Love You" from the top of my lungs

but I'm afraid that someone else will hear me

Whoa-oh

I wanna scream "I Love You" from the top of my lungs

but I'm afraid that someone else will hear me



You can only blame your problems on the world for so long

before it all becomes the same old song

as soon as we hit the hospital I know we're going to leave this town

and get new passports and get, get, get, get, get out now

get, get, get, get, get out now
