Cold War Kids - Every Valley Is Not A Lake Lyrics
Don't bother grandma 'cause she's rightOr you'll be in some messI see how you see her, creaky bones*****in' 'bout IRSWell take a look childThrough these photo albumsShe sang to sailors in the war, baseball stadiumsIn 1948Now you'll graduate and you thinkYou're going to move out nowI will congratulate you as soonAs you pay your own wayNot tryin' to stick a pinIn your shiny new balloonYour alimony check won't buy a bigger roomOr a new carDon't ever think about comin' by hereWith that junior from up the streetSneakers squeakin' on the kitchen tile, hat pulled below his eyesThat boy is trouble in his sleepYou got your father's reckless charm, babeLong as you givin', somebody takeWell, every sermon is not the gospel, babeLet me put it in another wayEvery valley is not a lakeBefore I let you go with your friendsGot one more thing to sayYou think my love is tough, should've seenYour grandma in her daySo use your wits child'Cause nothing stays the sameIn forty years my song will be public domainOh, oh, ohSharp tongue, quick switchSharp tongue, quick switchWill make my own apology felt
