lyrics

I read about ‘em in the papers every day. I have seen ‘em in the magazines. “Life’s an adventure,” all the pretty people say,
but we got written out of that scene. What’s she wearing? Who’s he fucking? She’s a model! Minutia taking space in our minds. So you don’t notice that your life’s stuck in rewind. Just trying to make the bus stop on time.
It’s a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world, revealed in the bright light of day. But if the bird calls and waterfalls, sunsets and falling stars, don’t rate a casting call, guess we’ll just throw it away.
They got professionals and god knows they get paid, to spin a certain view of the world. They use their time and talent making you afraid. Got you hanging on every word. I’d feel safer if I only had a gun. Barbarians are storming the gates. It’s gettin’ dire, build the walls a little higher and grab your piece before it’s too late.
But Charlton Heston gave me indigestion. These rabid suggestions won’t stop. For all the trash in the ocean, they’ll sell you their potion and give you the notion that you might just come out on top.
There are oceans and jungles and human hearts worth exploring, but I gotta get up and go to work in the morning. This strange compulsion that I’m always ignoring, I wanna go off the rails cause my life is so boring.
I got these strategies to get me through the day. I’m trying to reach that zen state of mind. My basic nature keeps on getting in the way. I can’t even make the bus stop on time. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, that gnaw- ing, aching feeling inside. I don’t even bother turning on the light. Don’t know what I’d be trying to find..
But it’s a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world. As long as you don’t get too attached. It’s a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful world. Too bad it ain’t gonna last. Well they got what you need, you can feed your disease (if you don’t mind standing in line.) So save your dreams and your sorrows for some bright tomorrow, and just try to make the bus stop on time.

The Globs image

The Globs Sacramento, California

The Globs sprang from the mind of Mike R. Mike – also the mouth behind The Bananas. Mike wanted a “punk E Street Band,” so he drew from Sacramento’s always incestuous music scene. First, he tapped Charles Albright, man of a million bands and Christine, she also of many bands. Christine got her dad, Nick, to play piano & sax. The Globs grew to include Craig (Sick Burn) & Jessica (Danger, Inc). ... more
