It's a Joyful life it's a joyful noise Making these records for the girls and boys It's a couple of feelings on some simple strings It's a way to make a living Gotta keep the flame burning gotta keep that faith Gotta bring back human to the human race Let's empower the poor give 'em something to eat Let's tear down religion I want it all, I want to dream Don't wanna live my life in the in between Break on through, give 'em something to feel Let 'em dance out in the streets Now if the talking heads could speak a little truth Give us something that we can sink our teeth into Drop a dollar on a song maybe read a couple books Get off of your goddamn phone There so much beauty in people today You're never gonna see it if you're in the way If the singer had something decent to say Well we might just make it through And all you bums that make the rules Now we won't be trumped don't you play us for fools We'll break the systems that you turned into We'll take it back again I gotta a couple of kids and a beautiful wife A few guitars it's a pretty good life Out into the world of love and strife I'll smile and be happy
