lyrics

You've got yourself a pot of gold,
But it's making you old,
It's making you old.

Life don't always have to be
So rock 'n roll,
So I'm told, and so I'm told.

My friend,
You know you don't have to swallow
That magic pill, that magic pill.

My friend,
It's making you hollow,
Don't go downhill,
Don't get yourself killed.

Oh, what a joy to be alive,
And conscious of every passing eye,
Every gray cloud that's in the sky,
How does one escape?
How does one escape?

My friend, you're dead and so am I,
Don't ask yourself why, don't ask yourself why.
Somewhere there's a blue sky-
I ask myself why.

Really gotta give Squat! a listen, I've got a bunch of pals in this band. My pal Pete is super riotous drummer, Matt is a warm-hearted madman and Tom is a guru at making surfy psychedelic melodies. Erk
