Dan Bern - Don't Get Mad Get Even Lyrics
Another chanteuse on local radioAnother caboose on the hit parade-ioSays bye bye, bye byeAnother top ten list you ain’t onAnother day your name ain’t LeBronPack it in, why tryPick your chin up off the ground, you ain’t leavinDon’t get mad my friend, get evenSometimes it’s a sparkling townSometimes backslaps all aroundSometimes it knocks you down, why is thatSometimes, same things charge you upPull you down, drain your cupSometimes it all just sucks you dryI hear you saying things that you can’t be believingDon’t get mad my friend, get evenThe house across the street that I been meaning now to photographFor a yearI really like the way the roof it slants and dives and shoots aroundMostly I make it disappearI’ll meet you down by the old canalBring your guitar, I’ll bring a ballWe’ll shoot free throws, make up songs the kids will singThis time next year we’ll be kingsDo a lot of interviews, wear a lot of blingGo to rehab, kick that cocaine in your cereal thingThere’s things you ain’t even begun achievingDon’t get mad my friend, get even
