Automatic For The People

[instrumental]


 
Sweetness Follows
 
Readying to bury your father and your mother
What did you think when you lost another?
I used to wonder, why did you bother
Distanced from one, blind to the other?
 
Listen here, my sister and my brother
What would you care if you lost the other?
I always wonder, why did we bother
Distanced from one, deaf to the other

Oooh, oooh, but sweetness follows
 
It's these little things, they can pull you under
Live your life filled with joy and wonder
I always knew this altogether thunder
Was lost in our little lives

Oooh, oooh, but sweetness follows
Oooh, oooh, but sweetness follows
 
It's these little things, they can pull you under
Live your life filled with joy and thunder
Yeah, yeah, we were altogether
Lost in our little lives

Oooh, oooh, aaah
Oooh, oooh, but sweetness follows
Oooh, oooh, oooh, but sweetness follows
 

 
Monty Got A Raw Deal

Monty, this seems strange to me
The movies had that movie thing
But nonsense has a welcome ring
And heroes don't come easy

Now, nonsense isn't new to me
I know my head, I know my feet
But mischief knocked me in the knees
Said "just let go, just let go"

I saw the ocean meet the man
I saw you, buried in the sand
A friend was there to hold your hand
Said "walk on by"

So, I went walking through the street
I saw you, strung up in a tree
A woman knelt there, said to me
Said "hold your tongue, man, hold your tongue"
 
You don't owe me anything
You don't want this sympathy (waste your breath)
Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath)
For the silver screen
 
That nonsense doesn't mean a thing
They tried to bust you in a sting
But virtue isn't everything
So don't waste time
 
Now, here's a rhyme that you can steal
Put this on your reel to reel
Mischief threw a rotten deal
Monty's laying low, man, he is laying low
Just let go, y'all, just let go

You don't owe me anything
You don't want this sympathy (waste your breath)
Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath)
Monty, this seems strange to me
