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.
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.
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...
