Days Songtext

von Joelistics

I never did it for the money
I did it because I had a lot of time on my hands
Now I've got plans, to make more plans
All of my friends grew up and push prams
It hits you like bam, what's it all for?
Music was my life then life got ignored
Then I lost hope, then I got broke
Then all I wrote came out as old folk

There goes my genius, blink and you missed it
Loop up the, learn how to whistle it
If ya get an idea try not to fist it
It's like god whispered something insisted
Try not to block it, try not to drop it
When you get your grubby little paws on it
You gotta rock it, You gotta rock it
You gotta rock it to the moon get on it

And it might not mean that much to you
It means a lot to me, and its got to be
Something strange and familiar I still wanna feel it
I still wanna feel the music.

As the days go by

As the days go by
As the days go by
My boys said "kid, you redefine dope
Plus you had the presence of mind to rock the boat
Plus you had some hits from the rhymes in your folder
Had a bit of shine, and fell into a coma
Get back out there and do it all sober
Milk that shit until the cow falls over

Do it for the music, do it for the moment
Even if it never blows up, own it."
Kids these days want posters on their walls
Me, I've got bad jokes, personal anecdotes
Songs for perennial underachievers
You want a revolution, move to Beijing
You wanna get high and sing along then join in

Its all good, mad props
Truth of the matter salvation is ad hoc
And it might not mean that much to you
It means a lot to me, and its got to be

Something strange and familiar I still wanna feel it

I still wanna feel the music.
As the days go by...
It all breaks down to pride
A search for what makes the ride worthwhile

Look for the content, look for the star
Strap your shoes on and run that mile
Keep the fire inside alive
Cause the world gets cold and it can pass you by

You can pass on the risk, convince the hurt
But that's a real bad way for you to pass the time
I used to want to see my name in lights
I used to wanna be the one holding the mic
But these days man I've got nothing to prove
And its evident it might mean nothing to you
But if I didn't do it I'd have nothing to do
I'd probably have nothing to do with you
So until the day, there's nothing more to say
I'm-a keep on singing the tune
As the days go by…
As the days go by…
As the days go by…
As the days say goodbye…
