Drifting, 4 Non Blondes

What a wonderful hesitation
who would bear to feel sorry for me
dropped another pill just to calm me
collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep
there I was drifting
way out into the sunshine
expecting to crash but I'm tied to a string
look at me I'm a tangled puppet
I might be a mess but I'm sure can survive
find myself awake counting sad days
1-2-3 that's too many for me
dropped another pill just to find me
reached for my hand but it was already there
then I started believin'
that I fell out of a tiny raindrop
that lost its way when I decided to roam
chasing me was a hungry dweller
but I had escaped it by pretending to die
come follow me you won't expect the illusion
you'll see it's my imagination
hand me your eyes
I will put them in front of mine
you'll see a little better
you'll see a little better
what a wonderful destination
where I am now
I can no longer see
dropped another pill just to kill me
collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep
there I was drifting
way out into the sunshine
expecting to crash but I'm tied to a string
look at me I'm a tangled puppet
I might be a mess but I'm sure can survive
but I had escaped it by pretending to die

Dear Mr. President, 4 Non Blondes

I'm looking outside of my windows
The view that I see
Is a child and mama
And the child is begging for money
Tell me why, tell me why
The woman is blind is she so broke
The kid's dealing crime
It's such a beautiful city
But the world is burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
It's such a beautiful city
But the world is it burning down
I go to my room to turn on the T.V
I sit myself down
And I start laughing hard
'Cause this man he's asking for money
He sats "if you send me lots of cash I'll send you
Stuff to make you rich fast"
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
And it's burning down
And it's called the U.S of A.
One day I'm going to have lots of money
But I'll have to give up
For this rich society
Oh please Mr. President will you lend me a future
'Cause you'll just get it back
From the little blind woman
With the kid on the corner
And the people all over, doin' crack
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
And it's burning down
And it's called the U.S of A.
I'm walking outside on a sunny day
With no one around
And I wonder what's wrong
The I hear this loud piercing siren
Oh my God the bomb has just dropped
And everybody climbed right on top
Screaming, what a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
And it's burning down
And it's called the U.S of A

Old Mr. Heffer, 4 Non Blondes

Stumbled my way on the darkest afternoon

I got a beer in my hand and I'm draggin' a stoagle too

the back of my brain is tickin' like a clock

I simmer down gently but boil on what the f

Get back 'cause I'm feelin' good tonight

get back 'cause I'm feelin' right

Trouble is a word that stars with a capital T

I refer myself to the word 'cause I'm so keen

little do they know that I'm struttin' such a style

it makes the trouble in me all worth the while

So get back 'cause I'm feelin' good tonight

get back 'cause I'm feelin' right

There goes Billy and Susie walkin' hand by hand

I quickly caught up slurring yo what's the plan

they had fear in their eyes and bellies that ran like dogs

I barrelled down laughing screaming Susie

you forgot your clogs

well, Old Mr. Heffer

I'm really pleased to meet you

I didn't mean to scare your blue-eyed child

but Billy wouldn't talk to me

and Susie wouldn't look at me

it made me so doggone crazy

I had to chase them for a mile

all wanted was change for a buck

Well I'm back and I'm feelin' good tonight

yea I'm back and I'm feelin' right

so get back 'cause I'm feelin' right

Jesus!
