Well I can play chess with the Generals
And not lose a pawn,
Make love to Aphrodite
All night long
I can sing like Sinatra
And I look like him too
It’s true
Well I can clean all the teeth
On a crocodile smile
Walk the Sahara
And swim cross the Nile
I can speak in every language
You’ve ever heard
c'est vrai
But honey I could use a friend
I know
Its hard to believe its so
Don’t make me ask again
That would just be cruel
Well I can see straight into the future
I can read your palm
I know the secrets of the pyramids
I know David’s song
I can wrestle the Devil
With just my left arm
Its true
Well I can walk straight into the boardroom
And fire the boss
Then tie a rope between the buildings
And walk right across
I can do my own dishes
I can tie my own shoes
Its true
But honey I could use a friend
I know
Its hard to believe its so
Don’t make me ask again
That would just be cruel
But if I can be frank
If I can honest,
Its not all true
You see me days have been burdens
the nights are abuse
And Lately I can barely pull myself up out of bed
Its true
But honey I could use a friend
I know
Its hard to believe its so
Don’t make me ask again
That would just be cruel

Oh honey, let the roses whither away
Let all the smiles fade from their faces
Let all the bars turn out their lights
We’ll still sing La Di Da Da through the night
Tell me you love me when everything’s wrong
I will keep singing these God awful songs
Someday this train might pull off the track
Everything lost might find it’s way back
Sing La Di Di Da Da
Make a toast to your friends
Spill all your whiskey
And fill it again
Sing La Di Da Da
Smash your glass up to heaven
Love all your friends
Might be the last time that you see ‘em
Sing La Di Da Da
Da da da da da da La Di Da
Oh honey let the roses whither away
And let all the children grow old and grey
Let all the bars put boards up on the doors
I got a flask in my pocket I been savin’ it for
Oh, tell me you love me when everything’s right
Push comes to shove, it turns to fights
Well someday this train might make a wrong turn
If it all goes to hell, let it burn, let it burn
Sing La Di Di Da Da
Make a toast to your friends
Spill all your whiskey
Fill it again
Sing La Di Da Da
Smash your glass up to heaven
Remember this feeling
Might be the last time that you feel it
Sing La Di Di Da Da
Make a toast to your friends
Tell ‘em you love ‘em
Might be the last time that you see ‘em
Sing La Di Da Da
Da di da da da da La Di Da
Oh honey, let the roses whither away
Let all the smiles fade from their faces
Let all the bars turn out their lights
We’ll still sing La Di Da Da through the night

I wouldn’t hold my breath
I wouldn’t hold my breath
I wouldn’t hold my breath
He’s gone
I worked an honest day
Signed my life away
A white picket dream
Well, I’m done
I’m walking off the plank
And I’m burning all my money
We’re setting fire to the bankers
We’re gonna move out to the country
I’m burning down the bridge
And I’m telling off the Captain
Oh I’m turning in my hammer
We’re gonna move out to the country
A real stand up man
A life insurance plan
The American dream
Well I’m Done
I tried to join your team
But you took everything
Well you can fool me once
I’m done
I’m walking off the plank
I’m burning all my money
We’re setting fire to the bankers
We’re gonna move out to the country
Oh I’m burning down the bridge
And I’m telling off the Captain
Oh I’m turning in my hammer
We’re gonna move out to the country
And now they’re in the streets
He said he couldn’t breathe
You didn’t do a thing
Now he’s gone
Well you can point your gun
And sing the same old song
But something’s broken
And I’m done
I’m walking off the plank
I’m burning all my money
We’re setting fire to the bankers
We’re gonna move out to the country
I’m burning down the bridge
And I’m telling off the Captain
Oh I’m turning in my hammer
We’re gonna move out to the country
I’m walking off the plank
I’m burning all my money
We’re setting fire to the bankers
We’re gonna move out to the country
I’m burning down the bridge
And I’m telling off the Captain
Oh I’m turning in my hammer
We’re gonna move out to the country

Danny's a working man
broke his back and bled his hand
A red blood American
He’s fast to fight, he never ran
that's the path he was laid
overworked and underpaid
still, Danny he don’t complain
he knows works not done in vane
He says, I’m alright
I'm alright, he says,
I’m alright
‘til I’m not
One day the captain rang
Danny, I’m sad to say
But the factory's been shipped away
I know you'll find another way
But Danny's a working man
and the Devil loves an idle hand
and try as trying might
he never learned to pass the time
He said, I’m alright
He said, I’m alright
I'm alright
‘til I’m not
lay the bottle down to rest
it's a promise seldom kept
still he said it with regret
every morning cigarette
No Danny dont work no more
the factory found another shore
And what's life and living for
face down in a liquor store
Oh I’m alright, he said,
I’m alright, he said
I’m alright
‘til I’m not
I’m alright, he said,
I’m alright, he said
I’m alright
‘til I’m not
