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
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.
I also like “kill all the lawyers, kill ‘em tonite” LOL!
I also like “kill all the lawyers, kill ‘em tonite” LOL!
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.
Yep. It’s a classic. The rare kind.
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.
“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.
Mojo Nixon was right!
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.
SEIU? Which university is that?
Illinois
Hell....now maybe it was simply SIU .... lol It’s been 37 years ... I was thinking South East Ill University but now I’m not sure.
