Lyrics:

But you might feel better if they gave you some cash

The more I think about it, Old Billy was right

Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight

You don't want to work, you want to live like a king

But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing

Get over it

Get over it

If you don't want to play, then you might as well split

Get over it, Get over it

It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak

You're makin' the most of your losin' streak

Some call it sick, but I call it weak

You drag it around like a ball and chain

You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain

You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown

Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down

Complain about the present and blame it on the past

I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass

Get over it

Get over it

All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit

Get over it, get over it

Get over it

Get over it

It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit

Get over it, get over it

And now for ALL the lyrics!

I turn on the tube and what do I see

A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me"

They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else

Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves

Victim of this, victim of that

Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat

Get over it

Get over it

All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit

Get over it, get over it

You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash

But you might feel better if they gave you some cash

The more I think about it, Old Billy was right

Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight

You don't want to work, you want to live like a king

But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing

Get over it

Get over it

If you don't want to play, then you might as well split

Get over it, Get over it

It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak

You're makin' the most of your losin' streak

Some call it sick, but I call it weak

You drag it around like a ball and chain

You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain

You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown

Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down

Complain about the present and blame it on the past

I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass

Get over it

Get over it

All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit

Get over it, get over it

Get over it

Get over it

It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit

Get over it, get over it

“I’d like to find your inner child and kick its little ass”

Best line in the whole song.

From the first time I ever heard this song I loved it.

Was out with a buddy of mine, not long after cd came out, and I had it. My buddy is a whiney @$$ liberal, whose most common line is "I can't" and blames all the worlds ills on rich republicans, and he's a victim of everything. (Think Eeyore)

I was like "You gotta listen to this song,. Its great. You'll love it"

He didn't get it. He didn't think it was so great. So I played it again.

Still...nothing...and then "I suppose this is supposed to be about me"...followed by a huge chesire cat grin from me. Followed by a FU@K YOU, from him.

Some people are so thin skinned.

Personally, I think this song pretty much sums up EVERY SINGLE liberal I've ever met.

This is so weird... I never really paid any attention to this song until about a week ago when it played in the middle of a group of CD’s I had on while driving. The “bluesy” beginning caught my attention first and then the words just got me grinning. I had to play it a couple more times.

Fine music.

“Too bad Don Henley is such a raging lib”

Funny how so many people I know who aren’t lib at all, vote that way. The lyrics of that song are not from someone who is actually liberal in their beliefs. I was like that when I was young.

That is really a concidence that you just redisovered it as well. Sums up just about the whole liberal mindset. Eagles are sooooo good!

Don Henley and the other one in the Eagles are stinking libs. Banal rubbish music. Scum like this destroyed California.

I'm glad there are some on this board who remember the Eagles. One of my favorite songs by the group is Trying to Get to You. I also like the down-tempo I Told Myself.

Great song....got flamed when I posted it a few months ago cause Henley is a libtard...lol

However...the lyrics are applicable to the Left....not the right. So my question is: is Henley really a libtard or has he just been incognito? Enquiring minds want to know...

I saw the Eagles in concert back in the early 70’s...and don’t ask me what year because it’s all a blur ok? lol Anyway it was at SEIU (the University) and Joe Walsh was the opening act. They had just split but apparently it was amicable because Walsh opened. Anyway it was a great concert (from what I remember) and then through the years they truly matured. Always regretted not seeing them on their ‘come back’ tour in 96. ‘Hell Freezes Over’.

*sigh* Great Band.
