This tune, featuring vocals by Sun King Drew Harrison and Tammi Brown, lead guitar from Moby Grape's Jerry Miller, horns from Sly Stone/Prince sax man Jerry Martini, is an imaginary co write of John Lennon and Allan Toussaint, with lyrics about the future global warming problem ( which is now!)
GRIN & BEAR IT LOST & FOUND
WEAR & TEAR FROM THE UPS & DOWNS
THESE ARE THE DAYS THAT MAKE YOU WONDER WHY
SAME CHANGES WITH A NEW SET OF WORDS
BUT ITS THE SAME SONG WEVE ALREADY HEARD
WE DID WHAT WE DID, AND NOW WE GOT A HOLE IN THE SKY
THINGS AINT WHAT THEY USED TO BE
CANT HIDE CANT YOU SEE
FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DEEP BLUE SEA
YOU CAN BLAME IT ON THE NEIGHBORS
TRY AND FIX IT WITH SOME FAVORS
THINK YOU CAN DEAL WITH THINGS, THE WAY THEY USED TO BE DONE?
NO NO NO
WE TOOK ADVANTAGE EXAGGERATED
WE DIDNT LISTEN WE SHOULDA WAITED
COULD BE THE END OF A LONG EASY RIDE FOR SOME
THINGS AINT WHAT THEY USED TO BE
CANT HIDE CANT YOU SEE
FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD....... TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DEEP BLUE SEA
DOESNT MATTER THE LIFE YOU CHOOSE
NOBODY'S IMMUNE TO THE BLUES
DONT YOU KNOW YOU GOT TO WORK WITH WHAT YOU GOT
EVERY LITTLE THING MEANS A LOT
(SOLO)
THINGS AINT WHAT THEY USED TO BE
CANT HIDE CANT YOU SEE
FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD....... TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DEEP BLUE SEA
